Congratulations to Cliff Carmody, Executive Director of the SWWC Service Cooperative, in Marshall, Minnesota. He is the recipient of AESA’s 2021 Peter C. Young Service Award. The Peter C. Young Service Award is presented annually during the Summer Leadership Conference which was held last week.
His many contributions to AESA include coordinator of AESA’s Executives in Residence program; past member of the AESA Executive Council; and Past-President of the AESA Foundation Board of Trustees.
In addition to his leadership of SWWC Service Cooperative, Cliff is also the chair of the Minnesota Cooperatives State Association and is a servant leader in every sense of the word.
Nominees for this award are individuals of character who demonstrate putting people first, are skilled communicators and compassionate collaborators, use foresight, are systems thinkers, and exercise moral authority. Cliff exemplifies these characteristics and AESA’s Executive Council is proud to recognize Cliff for his local, state, and national service to education.
