Fred Award

 

Got Fred?  If so, KASA's Awards Committee invites you to nominate this extraordinary individual for the association's annual Fred Award.

Inspired by well-known author Mark Sanborn, the award is named in honor of Fred Shea, the subject of Sanborn's national bestseller, The Fred Factor.  The award is modeled after four principles described in the book-an individual who chooses to make a positive difference each day, has a heart for people, changes ordinary moments into memorable ones, and leads by example.

Eligibility

Non administrative staff, students or volunteers are eligible for the Fred Award.  This includes classified support staff, students, parents, community volunteers, teachers, etc.  Award nominees should possess a trademark spirit of service, innovation and commitment to others, positively influencing and impacting the lives of those in the school community.

Award Selection, Notification & Recognition

  • Three Fred finalists will be selected and announced in March 2010 by a statewide judging panel representative of all KASA members.
  • A film crew will visit each finalist in March or April to learn more about the nominee and how he or she exudes Fred-like qualities in the school district each day.  The video will be shown at the summer institute to a large audience prior to the winner being announced.
  • Finalists will be recognized at KASA's summer institute, July 21-23, 2010, at the Galt House Hotel & Suites in Louisville, and receive a distinguished plaque and a $250 scholarship to apply to the school program of his or her choice.
  • The 2010 Fred will be announced as a culminating activity of the institute at which time he or she will receive a $500 scholarship to apply to the school program of his or her choice and a distinguished plaque.
  • Nominees not chosen for the award will be recognized via KASA's newsletter and Web site.
