Points for the Training Award are earned from professional development events and activities delivered by OSBA or the Consortium of State School Boards Associations (COSSBA).
Timeline
A board member must earn 200 points within a three-year period to achieve the OSBA Training Award. This is a rolling yearly cycle; points are accumulated from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. Awards are presented at the spring regional conferences.
Application process
This award does not require an application; the board member will be notified when they have earned the requisite points. If you also view our Forums or the OSBA Podcast on our YouTube channel, please answer the following questions so we can capture the points for your record.
