2025 SPECIAL EDUCATION ANNUAL AWARDS

MADSEC deeply appreciates the dedication, passion, and hard work of special education professionals who make a profound impact on the lives of students with disabilities.Their commitment to fostering inclusive, supportive, and innovative learning environments is truly commendable.

Each year, at our Annual Awards Ceremony, we take the opportunity to recognize and celebrate individuals who have gone above and beyond in their roles— administrators, teachers, professionals, and support staff. Their efforts not only enhance educational opportunities for students but also inspire others to continue striving for excellence in special education. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all special education professionals and are seeking nominees for each category. 

Selections will be made by the MADSEC Awards Committee. In recognition of their remarkable contributions to the field, MADSEC looks forward to honoring award recipients on June 24th at the 2025 Directors' Academy held at the Sugarloaf Conference Center in Carrabassett Valley, Maine.
