TALB Awards

Each year, TALB is honored to recognize our members — teachers, nurses, librarians, facilitators, specialists, psychologists or counselors — and community supporters for their outstanding performance and contributions to education.

2025 Awards will be presented at our annual TALB Retiree & Awardee Celebration Dinner to be held May 29th, 2025.

We believe our annual awards are even more significant because nominations are made directly by TALB members.
Any TALB member may submit a nomination for a TALB Award.

The deadline for 2025 award nominations is April 3, 2025 at 5:00pm
