MNEA awards 2009-10 P.R. Grants to local affiliates

Once again local associations across the state have the opportunity to implement their ideas for spreading good news about public education with a little financial boost from Missouri NEA.

MNEA’s public relations grant program is a project of the Association’s Public Relations Committee. Grants of up to $200 are awarded for projects that increase the Association’s visibility in the community, build support for public education, increase membership in the Association and support local association public relations efforts.

Following are the local affiliates that received MNEA public relations grants for 2009–2010.
