2025 Phil Pickens Nominations Open


Posted on April 29, 2025, by GAPMP

Deadline is Monday, May 19 2025

Nominations are being accepted for the Phil Pickens Leadership Award! Please nominate a fellow Mentor, or a Special Ed Administrator you admire, for the Phil Pickens Leadership Award.

The Phil Pickens Leadership Award is a statewide honor to recognize outstanding leadership in the collaborative work to improve outcomes for students with disabilities, exceptional contributions to the Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership program, and consistent, outstanding leadership accomplishments in special education.  The award is named after the founder of the Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership, Phil Pickens, and will be presented at our statewide Kickoff Conference in September.

The Phil Pickens Committee’s goal is to have at least one nomination from each region. We would like the nominations to be a surprise if at all possible. This means that YOU, as the person (or group) making the nomination, will write the information about the nominee. The nomination form has been simplified and structured in a format that gives you guiding questions, so that you can easily describe your nominee’s accomplishments!  You will find the new nomination form at the link below.

Please think about the work that your fellow mentors are doing, as well as your director and others, and nominate someone for this special recognition!

For more information contact PPA Committee Chair Jodie Zeuke https://parentmentors.org/mentor/oglethorpe-county/
