Would you like to thank your employer for supporting you and your work as a school board member?

Every January, the VSBA Employer Commendation Program provides school board members with the opportunity to thank their employers for providing the support and/or encouragement that is often needed to perform school board duties. Upon the recommendation of any Virginia school board member who is employed full-time, the VSBA executive director will send a letter of commendation to the board member's employer and a certificate suitable for framing and display. These awards serve to:
<ul>
 	<li>Remind employers that school board service is an essential and demanding avocation;</li>
 	<li>Encourage constructive dialogue concerning local education topics;</li>
 	<li>Reinforce the employer's existing commitment to school board service; and</li>
 	<li>Encourage other employees to consider participating in the educational process or to lend their support to those who do.</li>
</ul>
Please submit an email to communications@vsba.org no later than February 10, 2023. Letters and certificates will be mailed to recommended employers in February (VSBA School Board Appreciation Month).
