MTA Awards

Each year at the Annual Meeting of Delegates, the MTA presents awards to individuals and groups who stand out for their contributions to public education, the labor movement and to the betterment of our Commonwealth and our planet. Our goal is to thank these individuals for their time, effort and skill — and to take a few moments to publicly celebrate the unique accomplishments of fellow educators, students and education allies.
