Jeffreys Wins Organization's Highest Award
Community Education Director Monica Jeffreys won the state's highest award in her field, The Charles Stewart Mott Award, in memory of the person who started community education in Flint, Michigan in the 1930's.
Charles Stewart Mott, who once stated "Let us be known by our deeds," left a legacy far greater than the General Motors Corporation he helped found. The Mott Foundation continues to this day to be a national and international leader in promoting democratic ideals, which include community education, grass-roots citizen participation, and global awareness of man and his close relationship to the good earth.
Alabama Afterschool Community Network recognizes through an engraved plaque, outstanding contributions to the overall purpose of the organization and to the furtherance of community education.
