| 2012 Honoree Alice Seagren | Alice Seagren is the 2012 outstanding recipient of the 25 Year Club award, Distinguished Service to Educators.
Please join us in paying tribute to this friend of education on February 1 at the 25 Year Club Social during MESPA Institute 2012, beginning at 3:00 p.m. Alice began her six and a half years as Minnesota Commissioner of Education in 2004, after she left her elected position as a Minnesota House member representing Bloomington. Educators credit her with: - bringing a calm and collegial presence to the office,
- increasing student achievement,
- raising standards, and
- getting schools to ramp up science, technology, engineering and math offerings.

| Twenty-Five Year Club Revised Consitution | The Constitution of the 25 Year Club was amended
at the November 12, 2009 meeting. Revisions were introduced at the meeting and,
as required by the Constitution, a majority of members present voted to accept
the proposed changes.
The major changes are:
1. Two more positions were added to the board: Membership/Communications
Chair and Volunteer Coordinator. Because the Club members in
these positions have worked closely with Board members the last few years, it
was decided to add the positions to the Board.
2. The term of officers was changed from two years to one year. The shorter term will give more
members the opportunity for leadership roles.
3. There were minor changes in language that updated the 2002 revision. Please see the Revised Constitution PDF to the left for a copy.
