2010 NYSUT Constituency Awards

These constituency award programs were adopted by the NYSUT Board of Directors to provide a means by which NYSUT can recognize the outstanding contributions made by our members. The selected award recipients will be recognized at the annual NYSUT Representative Assembly and become part of a permanent display at NYSUT Headquarters.

2010 "Not for Ourselves Alone:" The Sandy Feldman Outstanding Leadership Award

The "Not for Ourselves Alone" Outstanding Leadership Award was renamed in 2006 in honor of the former AFT and UFT President Sandy Feldman. Feldman succumbed to breast cancer in September 2005. In the spirit of Sandy Feldman and all those female pioneers within NYSUT who have been recognized with the award since it was first presented in 2002, the award will continue to celebrate the contributions of NYSUT's largest constituency group - women.

A lifetime achievement award, it honors those women who have provided throughout their careers significant service and leadership to their local and state affiliates, as well as to the labor movement. In making a selection, the NYSUT Women's History Committee will consider length, breadth and depth of service. The selected honoree(s) will be recognized at the annual NYSUT Representative Assembly. All nominees will receive a certificate acknowledging the submission of their name for this honor.

2010 Community Service and Life Line Honor Awards

The Community Service Awards were established in 1993 to recognize individuals who have given outstanding volunteer service to their communities. Since the program's inception, hundreds of NYSUT members have been nominated by their locals or retiree councils to receive this award.

In addition, NYSUT created a Local Community Service Award to recognize a local's collective and sustained contribution to community service.

Finally, NYSUT established the Life Line Honor Roll, which recognizes the brave efforts of our members who have risked their own safety and life to secure the safety of another.
