The Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) presented the 2020–21 Better Boardsmanship Awards on Nov. 18 during the IASB Annual Convention in Des Moines.
The awards are given each year to board members, board teams and superintendents/AEA chief administrators who dedicate time and effort to learning, advocacy, leadership and service projects to expand their knowledge and skills for better governance. Applicants must accumulate a specific number of credits to earn these awards.
Team Achievement Award plaques were presented to seven school boards with a majority of board members who won the Individual Achievement Award. Solon, Atlantic, Charles City, Davenport, Le Mars, Marshalltown and Woodbine were this year’s winners.
The Award of Honor was presented to seven superintendents and one AEA chief administrator who invested time and effort to build skills and knowledge needed to be informed decision-makers. Congratulations to Davis Eidahl, of Solon, won this award for the fifth consecutive year.
