Wisconsin CEC Awards

Each year, the WI CEC Unit Awards highlight the individuals and groups making a difference in special education across our state. These awards provide an opportunity to recognize peers and colleagues for their leadership, service, and commitment to exceptional children—and we encourage members to submit nominations to help celebrate this important work.
