During its annual convention, the Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA) recognized five school board members who earned master board member status. To encourage professional growth of school board members, TSBA offers a master school board member award to members who invest their time and effort into becoming more informed and more effective school board members. The award is given for participation in activities outside of local school board obligations.
There are five levels of recognition in the TSBA Boardsmanship Award Program. Level V board members must have earned 250 credits in the appropriateĀ categories and submitted a portfolio that must have received at least a 25 out of 30 possible points from the award judges.
