There are many, many outstanding and distinguished business teachers, supervisors, administrators, and contributors to business education in the Cleveland area. You are probably one of them. We need to show the rest of the state that CABTA/Section 2 has a lot of great educators in our area, but we need your help! In an effort to recognize your effort as a CABTA member and those with whom you work, CABTA will accept nominations for the same categories of awards that are offered by the OBTA-An Association for Business Technology Educators (OBTA). Winners of the CABTA awards will be nominated for the OBTA awards. To be nominated for OBTA awards you need to be a paid member of OBTA for the past three years. Please consider a nominee for the following categories later in the school year. You may choose to nominate a colleague or yourself. Nominations need to be in by March 31, 2008.
