Honorees were selected through a nomination and review process designed to
reflect both peer recognition and professional excellence.
“These honorees represent the
very best of education and it was a privilege for EECU to support Fresno
Unified in recognizing the impact they make in the lives of students every
day,” said Elizabeth J. Dooley, EECU president and CEO.
The Excellence in Education
awards program brought together more than 800 educators, families, district
leaders, and community partners to recognize those whose work helps students
thrive academically and personally.

the foundation of our district’s success,” said Misty Her, Fresno Unified
School District superintendent. “We were grateful for EECU’s partnership in
honoring the individuals who go above and beyond for our students and
families.”
