Nominations are Now Open for OASA and OLISE Awards 2021

Do you know someone who deserves to be recognized for their leadership? NSELA has two prestigious annual awards that recognize and honor members of the Science Leadership community. Nominations are due Friday, November 20th, 2020, read more about our awards below. Nominations are open now!

Outstanding Leadership in Science Education Award (OLISE)

This prestigious award recognizes and honors an NSELA member, who through their professional work, has demonstrated outstanding leadership in science education at the school, district, county, regional, and/or national level.

Outstanding Administrative Support Award (OASA)

This prestigious award recognizes and honors an outstanding administrator who, through his/her professional work, has demonstrated exemplary support for science education at the school, district, higher education, and/or county level. This award honors an administrator whose primary responsibility is outside the area of science instruction.

Both awards are presented at the annual NSELA Leadership Summit (anticipated next in Chicago in April 2021). The awards are accompanied by a check for $1,000 and a plaque.
