JIM WEHAN NOMINATION

SVEA SERVICE AWARD

Nominations for the 2021 Jim Wehan/SVEA Service Award are now being solicited. This special award is intended for an individual who has provided exemplary leadership, advocacy, and/or assistance to Association members. It is named in honor of a founding member and long-time leader in SVEA, Jim Wehan.

For over twenty years, Jim was a teacher advocate here in SVUSD. He worked as a building rep., served on various SVEA committees, held the position of president for several years, and eventually became our chief negotiator and contract manager. His efforts on behalf of SVEA and its members helped, in many ways, to make this a better place to work. Nominations reflecting this sort of commitment and service are now encouraged for the 2021 SVEA Service Award.

Nominations should be submitted on the form below, and should include a statement about the nominee’s contributions to SVEA and its members. Specific information about the type and extent of the service provided by the nominee will help the selection committee and would be very much appreciated. The form must be signed by the SVEA member who is making the nomination AND by a seconder (also a member).

All duly submitted nominations are viewed by a committee. This committee will, in turn, recommend a recipient of the SVEA Service Award to the Executive Board. Your submission of a nomination for this high honor is strongly encouraged. The deadline for SVEA’s receipt of nominations is Tuesday, May 7, at  3:00 PM.

Past winners of the award are Jim Wehan (’92), Leila Maxson (’93), Bonnie Chadd (’94), Jim Shields (’95), Mike Gallups (’96), Vicki Loughran (’97), George Anderson (’98), Lou Ann Wiese/Gay Overstreet (’99), Patty Stewart (’00), Diana Stone (’01), Pat Downey (’02), Lynn Lucas (’03), Janet Henry (’04), Gary Barker (’05), Bruce Teel (’06), Susan Berner (’07), Cece Pollin (’08), Barbara Schulman (’09), Pam Bisson (’10), Gregg Swenson (’11) Charlotte Hansen (’12), Daniel Moon (’14), Chrissy Brothwell (’15), Joyanne Goodfellow (’16), Denise Bradford (’17), Charmaine Potter ('18), 

ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 5/7/2021 @ 3:00 PM
