Ted Bleecker Best of the Best Award: In-Service
Hastings Teachers Association
"Hastings TA Social Media Campaign"
Award Winner: Nate Morgan
Editor: Nate Morgan
Local President: Nate Morgan
With its skillful use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr - all linked to an attractive and comprehensive website - this local continues its tradition of excellence in digital documentation of its commitment to community service. The website does a masterful job of keeping members and the community up-to-date on local, statewide and national issues in education and labor and provides links to the union's constant presence on social media sites.
Ted Bleecker Best of the Best Award: Retiree
Jericho Retiree Association
The Jericho Retiree
"Jericho's Fulbrights"
Award Winners: Maureen Tracy, Dave Martin, Jeff Feinberg & Susan Menkes
Editor: Carol Spielberger
Chapter Leader: Carol Spielberger
From the colorful artwork to the individual accounts by four of its members, this retiree group has taken a mildly interesting subject –- Teacher Fulbright awards -- and turned it into a compelling read. Four now-retired recipients of the prestigious awards each tell their stories in their own words, taking us into their classrooms overseas and recounting their experiences. Even the artwork is superb –- a colorful photo of a six-foot mural, inspired by the events of 9/11 and jointly created by the Fulbright-winning art teacher's students both at home and in Japan.
