IASB honors Sue Gates for making difference on VS School Board

The Iowa Association of School Boards recognizes that learning and leadership on the part of school board members makes a difference at the board table and for students.

At IASB’s 69th Annual Convention on Nov. 20, Grant Wood AEA board member and Vinton-Shellsburg school board member Sue Gates was honored for making that difference. Through IASB’s Better Boardsmanship Awards Program, Gates received an Award of Achievement certificate. This award recognizes board members who put forth extra time and energy to strengthen their boardsmanship abilities through formal in-service programs, workshops and other commitments such as advocating with legislators or serving on statewide committees or boards.

IASB Board President Jeff Anderson commended Gates for her hard work. “Each individual in this select group of board members takes extra steps to make sure they are informed and capable as they strive to improve outcomes for students,” Anderson said.

More than 105 school board members were recipients of this acclaimed award.
