“My own life’s journey has motivated me to pursue opportunities
where I can make a difference in someone’s life. My remembrance of
those who cared enough to take a genuine interest in me keeps my spirit willing
because I know what it did for me. I will forever be grateful and promise
never to forget those who helped shape my life.”
Award
Purpose…
The Amado M. Peña, Jr. Journey of Excellence Award recognizes and celebrates
individuals who share their time, talent, gifts, and treasures to provide support
and inspiration to students of all ages. Having these individuals share their
life experiences with conference participants are special moments in NISOD’s
annual celebration of teaching and leadership excellence. Mr. Peña is
proud to play a pivotal role in showcasing and honoring individuals who contribute
to unbroken circles of “giving back,” and who themselves have
important stories to tell about individuals who have made critical differences
in their own lives.
