Attorney Rachel Reight presented a Legal Update at our annual Fall Roundtable at the Hartville Kitchen on Monday, October 21, 2024. Eighty members enjoyed a turkey dinner and an informative hour of Professional Development. Seven lucky members were "door pies" winners. The Five Star Locals were recognized for exceptional participation in ECOEA events. The Fall Roundtable is always a good event to get together and learn.

Congratulations to the Five Star Locals listed above for their exceptional participation in ECOEA activities in the 2023-2024 year. Locals who met five of the six criteria each received an award of $100 for the unrestricted use by their local. The two locals that met all six of the criteria each received a $200 award. Five Star criteria include electing and sending delegates, have at least a 5% participation rate in donations to the Ohio Fund, apply for ECOEA grants or scholarships, have a local member participate in ECOEA leadership, and attend ECOEA workshops or events. Keep up the great work!

David Augusta Unit Scholarships

Each fall, ECOEA awards three scholarships of $500 to members for continuining education. The scholarships are named for long-time public education advocate David Augusta, past president of Louisville EA, and former ECOEA Executive Director, who was instrumental in the implementation of these scholarships.

Congratulations to the winning members! Good luck to all applicants in their studies.
