ASCD congratulates the 1995 Affiliate Excellence Award winners, North Carolina ASCD and Washington State ASCD. To select these winners, a five-person committee reviewed portfolios submitted by affiliates showing how they met criteria for excellence and how their efforts were linked to ASCD's Strategic Plan.
North Carolina was cited for its positive approach to diversity throughout its decentralized regional organization. NCASCD is dedicated to becoming an influential force in education and has enlisted a broad-based group of members across the state to serve as legislative liaisons. Washington State ASCD was honored for its remarkable array of programs in a variety of formats, as well as its consistently fine publications, member-initiated networks, and active collaborations with other groups around the state.
These outstanding affiliates will be honored next month at ASCD's Annual Conference in San Francisco.
