Finally, we want to encourage you to nominate your colleagues and mentors for two of our awards, to be presented at this year's conference banquet. We have also extended these deadlines to April 28!
This award recognizes an outstanding example of the connection between labor education and activism: a new curriculum, important project, outstanding campaign on an issue, or an exemplary effort to use labor education to strengthen the labor movement. It can involve a formal institution of labor education, either university-, union-, or community-based. Or it can represent an independent effort outside an institutional labor ed program. It can be an on-going program, multi- year effort, or one that has ended. Some aspect of the program must have occurred within the previous calendar year. An individual, a program, or a project must be nominated to be considered. After the close of nominations, the UALE Board sends out a list of nominees and the membership determines the winner. This award recognizes an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of labor education over the course of his or her lifetime. We are intentionally leaving the description open in order to encourage UALE members to think broadly of individuals who have contributed in different ways. Nominations are submitted to the UALE Secretary. After the close of nominations, the UALE Executive Board determines the recipient. |
