2009 TAPE
Education Partnership Award Winners

The Texas Association of Partners in Education recognizes exemplary partners and partnership programs across the state. Award winners are selected based upon a set of criteria established by the TAPE Board of Director's, with particular emphasis placed on impact and measured change in students progress. Nominations are judged by an independent panel of representatives from across Texas. Award nominations were broken into four main categories, Community Partner Award; Business Partner Award, Individual Partner Award and Partnership Program Award, with specific sub-categories in each division, as seen below. A Crystal Award and Gold Award are given in each category. The TAPE Board of Directors and staff would like to congratulate all the 2009 award winners!
