To be recognized and supported by your students and peers is the ultimate compliment in the profession of education. IDSA is searching for amazing, dynamic, creative leaders to be saluted and recognized at the Annual Awards Banquet. To that end, we hope that you will help us disseminate information about the awards program so that colleagues, community members, administrators, parents, and students will take this opportunity to recognize those key members in your high school who best exemplify the attributes of the Awards. Nominees should be exceptionally skillful and dedicated individuals who play an active role in promoting the culture and climate of your school community. The Awards Program is a cooperative effort designed both to honor outstanding members in the Student Activities domain and to promote awareness of the quality of Student Activity Clubs, Programs, and Events being provided in Illinois high schools across the state. Take the time, right now, to fill out an application with a recommendation letter heralding their accomplishments and submit your own candidate you think is worthy of this recognition. Your narrative and picture of the nominee will be included in the Awards Banquet Convention Book distributed at the Annual IDSA Awards Banquet.
