AENJ believes
the rationale for conferring awards is twofold. First,
to recognize those individuals within the membership
who have achieved the highest level of professionalism
in the field of visual arts education. Second, to show
appreciation to those individuals and/or organizations
who have contributed their services in an exemplary
manner to the Art Educators of New Jersey and to the
goals espoused for the profession.
The
Award Categories are as follows:
The
