2007/2008 Science Education Advocate Award Recipients

The 2007/2008 Science Education Advocate Award, the second year of the program, was given to one organization and four individuals. This award recognizes outstanding individuals, organization, and/or project teams who have exhibited exceptional support and advocacy for science education in the State of Washington.

In addition to receiving recognition at statewide and local events, these five awardees were given $5,000 each to be awarded to the not-for-profit organization or public education entity of their choice for use in its efforts on behalf of science education. The monetary reward as well as funding for the awards process was generously supplied by the Boeing Company.
