Stamford Public Education Foundation Announces the Honorees for Its 8th Annual Excellence in Education Awards

The Stamford Public Education Foundation (SPEF) will hold its eighth annual Excellence in Education Awards on Monday, at UConn Stamford’s Rich Concourse.

Each year, the Excellence in Education Awards recognize businesses and community leaders for their commitment and service to education in Stamford. It is an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of both Stamford’s business community and the devoted individuals who help our students perform better, both in school and beyond into post-secondary education and the working world.

This year, SPEF will be presenting the following awards on March 16:

• SPEF Corporate Award to PwC for its commitment to volunteerism.
• SPEF Educators Award to Mike Meyer, Stamford Public Schools, for his collaborative leadership in the Stamford School district.
• SPEF Leadership Award to Eileen and Fred Springer for their philanthropic support of SPEF and our community.

The event also serves to raise much-needed funds: SPEF is 100% donor funded, with all of its educational resources supplied to Stamford schools at no cost to the district. Sponsors for this year’s event include: Bob and Pat Phillips, PwC, RBS, Compass Group, GE Asset Management, Pitney Bowes, Chase Bank, First County Bank, Jennifer and Mark Lapine, and The Berkowitz Law Firm LLC.

Tickets for the evening, which includes hors d’oeuvres, drinks and inspirational presentations, are available by calling 203-965-7733. Sponsorships are also still available.
