Each year, NAF honors one of our almost 4,000 advisory board members with the NAF Advisory Board Champion Award, as part of the Celebration Dinner at NAF Next. Advisory boards are a critical component of the NAF design, especially when it comes to increasing opportunities for students to participate in work-based learning activities. Additionally, successful advisory boards leverage connections to raise awareness and build community support. NAF's Advisory Board Champion Award recognizes an individual board member who has exercised extraordinary leadership toward these goals. This year’s award winner is Robert Dempsie from the Granite Hills Law, Justice, and Ethics Academy in Porterville, California.
Mr. Dempsie, an Assistant District Attorney for Tulare County, has served on the academy’s advisory board for more than a decade, providing work-based learning opportunities, mentoring and creating curriculum content with educators, and securing grant funding to attain state-of-the-art facilities for their students including a new courtroom and forensic lab. The academy students, teachers, administrators, and community members all cite Mr. Dempsie as a great inspiration and role model.
We look forward to honoring Robert Dempsie at the Celebration Dinner at NAF Next Celebration 2024 in Kissimmee, Florida. We hope to see you all there! Not yet registered for NAF Next? REGISTER NOW →
