RA has again presented the Wisconsin State Reading Association the Award of Excellence for 2012-2013. This award is presented annually by the International Reading Association to state associations that have distinguished themselves through organizing and implementing a wide range of programs and activities in their state that (a) serve and support councils and members, (b) contribute to education, and (c) coincide with and support the programs and goals of the Association. To be eligible to qualify, all reported officers of the state council must be members of the International Reading Association. Documented evidence showing how the state council has excelled in the three areas specified above must be submitted to IRA Headquarters. According to IRA headquarters, this award has been presented to WSRA twenty times. Our state continues to be one of the most consistently recognized states in the nation! Congratulations to all. This award, presented at the 2014 Convention, recognized the accomplishments of the previous year’s President Jan Weinhold. This is definitely a team award and would not be possible without the leadership, dedication and commitment of the entire WSRA Leadership team.
