Mon, 17 Dec 2018 05:00:00 GMT

The OPTA is proud to launch our NEW Member of the Month recognition program~a peer-to-peer nomination initiative where members who have gone above and beyond will be acknowledged for their contributions! Each month OPTA will highlight one member who has exhibited a willingness to exercise servant-leadership, whether on a district, state or national level; taken initiative on issues of importance to the profession; and/or accepted and fulfilled additional responsibilities beyond their regular professional duties.

We encourage you to nominate individuals that you believe exude these qualities. You are free to nominate as many members as you'd like, as often as you'd like. To nominate an OPTA member for the Member of the Month highlight, simply fill out the form below. The OPTA Membership Committee will select members based on the criteria provided.

*Please note, this individual must be an OPTA member in good standing to be nominated.
