President’s Award

Vision, commitment, dedication, selflessness. These are the qualities that give us the inspiration to take up the role of trustee. The sense of accomplishment in our work as trustees very much comes from our personal and private recognition of a job well done. And sometimes it comes from public recognition by our peers.

The Ontario Public School Boards’ Association represents all trustees engaged in public education in this province. Our Association wants to honour some very special colleagues – the trustees who have stood by their vision and selflessly given of themselves to the students and parents of Ontario for more than 25 years.

We are privileged, on behalf of all trustees in the province, to present the OPSBA President’s Award in recognition of 25 years of service in public education. The President’s Award, formerly known as the Dinosaur Club Award, was established at the Fall Northern Region Conference in October 2001.
