OSBA’s Business Honor Roll for Mentors

Filed under: Hello and Welcome! — Amy Freeman @ 12:10 pm

OSBA is excited to announce it will again offer the Business Honor Roll program this year. The association created this worthwhile program in 2011 to provide school districts with an opportunity to say “thanks” to local businesses for their support and contributions. Since its inception the program has been a great success and districts from around the state have participated.

The purpose of this program is to help OSBA members maintain and build upon the support they receive from their local business community. If your district has firms that support your schools, OSBA encourages you to name them to the Business Honor Roll.

Some examples of support include:
• volunteering in schools and offering employees time off to volunteer,
• serving as a mentor or tutor
Nominations will be accepted online at http://www.ohioschoolboards.org/apps/bhr12/BHR12p1.php. The deadline to submit selections is Friday, March 15. No nominations can be accepted after that deadline.  http://ealerts.osba-ohio.org/msgs/1641.html
