KyAEA Introduces Distinguished Fellows Title

The Kentucky Art Education Association’s (KyAEA) Distinguished Fellow is the prestigious title and position given to members who have made long term marked contributions to the Association and to the advancement of art education.

Being named a Distinguished Fellow is a means to honor art educators for exceptional professional service. The title of being a Distinguished Fellow is not subject to revocation; it is an honor to be held by the recipient for the remainder of their lifetime. This title also provides an avenue for an appointed Fellow to continue participating and contributing to the workings of the KyAEA. This is an esteemed position bestowed upon select members of the Association in admiration of past, present, and future work in the field of art education.

The KyAEA Distinguished Fellows Recommendation Form, Procedural Order, and Point System wills soon be available on the KyAEA website. Questions can also be directed to Dr. Judi Haynes.
