Audubon Board Member Strives for Excellence

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 68th Annual Convention on November 21, Audubon school board member Mark Nissen was honored for making that difference. Through IASB's Better Boardsmanship Awards Program, Nissen 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 Patti Fields commended Nissen for his 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," Fields said.
