The Council of Administrators of Special Education, Inc. (CASE)
acknowledges the need of a professional association to recognize
outstanding individuals among the ranks of its members and
others who improve the field or accomplish within it. In that
regard, CASE has established awards for which nominations are
annually solicited from the membership.
Both awards, the Outstanding Special Education Administrator and
the Harrie M. Selznick CASE Distinguished Service are for
current members of CASE, Inc. Persons nominated for the
Outstanding Service to CASE Award may or may not be CASE members
at the time of nomination, but are individuals who have made
significant contributions to the CASE organization. An
individual may be nominated for one of the CASE awards by a CASE
member or by a CASE subdivision. Nominations for CASE awards are
accepted upon the receipt of the nominee form (see attached)
with attached vita of the nominee. Selection of the individual(s)
to be honored at the annual CEC convention is based on submitted
information as judged by the members of the CASE Professional
Development Committee.
The CASE Outstanding Administrator of Special Education Award
was instituted for recognition of individuals making significant
professional contributions to leadership behavior and field
practice in the administration of programs for students with
disabilities and/or who are gifted. Nominees for this award must
have had ten years experience in the field of special education.
Nominees must be a current member of CASE.
The Harrie M. Selznick CASE Distinguished Service Award was
instituted for recognition of individuals who have been
career-long leaders in the administration of special education
programs. The intended recipients of the award are individuals
who have made significant contributions to the field over
extended professional careers. The Selznick Award is the highest
CASE honor, and it is accompanied by a cash award. Nominees must
be a current member of CASE.
The Outstanding Service to CASE Award was instituted for
recognition of individuals who have made significant
contributions to the CASE organization. Recipients of this award

may or may not be a current member of CASE.
