Published: March 18, 2011
The Education Industry Association (EIA) has honored Center for Education Reform Founder and President Jeanne Allen with its “Friend of the Education Industry” award.
“Before education reform was ‘cool', Jeanne Allen founded an organization dedicated to ensuring that children and their families would have real educational choices,” said Michael R. Sandler, author of Social Entrepreneurship in Education: Private Ventures for the Public Good, who presented the award on behalf of EIA during the association’s 11th Education Industry Days conference here. “Over the past 18 years, Jeanne Allen, through The Center for Education Reform, has been a driving force in the charter school movement, and an inspiration to all of us who call themselves education entrepreneurs.”
"I am honored to receive this award from such a good friend and from an organization whose mission brings innovative approaches to the education table,” said Jeanne Allen. “ At a time when so many states are attacking the difficult challenges to improve opportunities for all children, the dedicated efforts of the members of EIA are critical, and that makes this recognition all the more meaningful."
The EIA Friend of the Education Industry award is presented annually to an individual who, and/or an organization which, fosters and demonstrates vision, entrepreneurship, a dedication to quality, and the spirit of public-private partnership in advancing education reform.
