Support Minnesota’s Top School Leaders

Each year, MASA celebrates excellence in educational leadership through two of our most distinguished honors — the Distinguished Service Award and the Outstanding Central Office Administrator Awards.

We invite your organization to join us as a sponsor for one or both of these prestigious awards, presented at the MASA Spring Conference.

Please note: Sponsorship of these awards is available exclusively to Business Partners at the Key Level or higher.
