Districts Note:
If your district would like to sponsor candidates for ADA Awards who are not being sponsored by NYSDA, you can request NYSDA endorsement. To do so, you must submit the awards packet to me by January 2. Packets are due to ADA by March 1, but I need time to review them and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors who must vote on NYSDA support for nominations.
