These finalists were vetted through a stringent application process and a visit by an impartial review team to vet the information in the application.
“This has been a challenging year and we are excited to have the opportunity to honor these governance teams who have exemplified all around high functioning best practices,” said Bryan Preston, GSBA President and member of the Coffee County Board of Education.
The winners were announced during a ceremony this evening, December 1, 2021 at 6:30 p.m., honoring the outstanding governance team finalists. The winners were chosen by a panel of national experts who perform various leadership roles in the field of public education.
“While many governance teams have endured challenging circumstances and provided steadfast leadership, the 2021 Governance Team of the Year winners have set a high standard of excellence and we are proud of all that they have accomplished,” said Valarie Wilson, GSBA Executive Director.
