Broadway receives IACEA President's Award
Jan Broadway of Illinois Valley Community College’s Adult EducationCenter received the Illinois Adult and Continuing Educators AssociationPresident’s Award at the state conference held in Springfield.
The award recognizes special contributions to the association and to the field of adult education.The President’s Award has two standards for selection. Recipients must have engaged in some special activity or enterprise that altered the field in a positive way within the years immediately preceding the award.
Secondly, the recipient must have a level of commitment to the field in general and the Illinois Adult and Continuing Educators Association by helping raise standards.
“Jan began in the field, as so many of us have, by accident, looking for a new path, following a life change and accepting a job in an area of education for which she had little preparation,” said IACEA President Will Leinicke.“She is the first to volunteer when there is something important to be done and the first to challenge her fellow board members when she believes that there is something important that we are overlooking or that we have strayed from our mission.”
Broadway was the IACEA Teacher of the Year in 1998.
