This committee focuses on awarding the art advocates of Delaware. These are our art teachers, art supervisors, museum educators, arts educators, administration, artists, and Delaware visual art advocates. This group of people sends nominations out to our members, district administrators, art museums, and art organizations throughout Delaware. They collect the nominations and then request each nominee provide two letters of recommendation and complete a vita form (resume questions) for their completion. They check with our membership committee to ensure teachers are active DAEA members and certified DE teachers for Delaware M.US.E., Secondary Division, Middle Division, and Elementary Division Awards. The committee compiles this information to determine who is the best candidate for each award using the NAEA rubric. Additional member awards include our Howard Pyle Award, Rising Star Award, Art Administrator of the Year, and Retired M.U.S.E. Distinguished Art Advocate Awards are given to deserving art advocates outside the teaching profession.
