Guidebook excerpt
D. Local Service Award
I. Purpose
To recognize the outstanding contribution of members who provided leadership and service at the Local level of the NSTU.
II. Criteria
- The member has served for multiple terms on the Local Executive and/or Local Council;
- The member is viewed by peers as having given meritorious service which has helped to advance the objectives of the NSTU; or,
- The member has given particularly outstanding service to the Local, to education, or to the teaching profession; and,
- Awarded to Active Members and Retired Members or individuals who have ceased being NSTU Active Members.
III. Applications
- Candidates must be recommended by the Executive of the Local.
- The Local President must write a letter to the NSTU President seeking the approval of the Provincial Executive. The letter must outline why the member is deserving of this Local Service Award. The letter must be accompanied by a biographical description indicating the number of years of service in the teaching profession and with the Local, and any specific Local, Regional, or Provincial involvement with the NSTU. The biographical description should be approximately 125 words in length (must not exceed 150 words) and will be used for publication purposes.
- Application letters with biographies (one per member) must be received no later than one week prior to either the March or April meeting of the Provincial Executive. Applications may be forwarded earlier than the dates noted above.
IV. Selection Process
- Local Service Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the NSTU Provincial Executive.
- The Provincial Executive member representing the Local(s) from which the names have been submitted will be responsible for notifying the President of the Local of the outcome of the decision of the Provincial Executive (Note: Some Locals like to keep the Award a surprise, if possible, until the time the Award is to be received). All notification to the individual is the sole responsibility of the Local Executive.
V. Presentation of the Award
- The Local Service Award consists of a certificate and special pin which are given to recipients by the NSTU President on behalf of the Provincial Executive.
- The biographies of the recipients will be provided at the event to celebrate recipients.
- All costs associated with the attendance at the event to celebrate recipients (accommodations, travel, etc.) are the responsibility of the Local.
