Nominees for ACSA’s Exemplary Woman in Education Award announced
Winner will be honored at Leadership Summit, Nov. 4-6
June 14, 2021
ACSA’s women’s award was created to lift up and recognize exemplary female leadership among the ranks of ACSA members. Its purpose is to spotlight women who have demonstrated courageous leadership, especially throughout the pandemic.
“This award comes with high expectations,” said Senior Director of Member Services Margarita Cuizon-Armelino. “The winner will have made noticeable contributions to her profession and has a demonstrated and clear desire to promote and grow other women leaders, all while under the pressures of a pandemic.”
A record number of nominations were submitted, which will make selecting one winner a challenge. The selection committee will be chaired by ACSA’s 2019 Exemplary Woman in Education Award winner, Dr. Cindy Petersen, superintendent/CEO of Gateway Charter Schools. The committee meets during the last week of June and will announce their winner in July. The winner will be honored at the November 2021 Leadership Summit and again at the Spring 2022 Women in School Leadership Forum.
“This award comes with high expectations.”
