Jointly sponsored by Connect-ED, a service of Blackboard Connect Inc., the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) and the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), the award was presented at AASA's National Conference on Education in Tampa, FL, on Feb. 14, 2008.

The award recognized Dr. Rudolph F.
