2008 MESPA Division Leadership Achievement Award Recipients
Div_Ldr
MESPA members selected 12 of their peers to receive the 2008 MESPA Division Leadership Achievement Award. This is an annual recognition with which principals honor their peers. Principals are responsible for a school’s instructional, school culture, and resource leadership. The award honors principals whose exemplary leadership and sustained efforts have made noteworthy contributions to the operation of effective school learning programs --  improving education, their communities, and their profession.

“These men and women are leaders in our profession and truly represent the very best in Minnesota public schools. They serve as role models and sources of inspiration to other principals and educators,” said P. Fred Storti, MESPA executive director.  The awards were presented on February 7, 2008, at the association’s 53rd Institute, its annual statewide convention.
