Board members are awarded for their participation in NASB Services and Programs, as well as attendance at NASB workshops and events. The Awards of Achievement program year runs from August 1 through July 31. NASB’s annual Area Membership Meetings begin in August giving NASB the opportunity to recognize school district and ESU board members for achieving new levels of success during the awards year. Just as board members have made a commitment to provide a quality education for students in their districts, NASB strives to provide quality resources and opportunities for its members.
