University of Florida Staff Member Selected for Cooperation Award

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Charlotte Emerson of Gainesville, Fla. received the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) Outstanding Cooperation Award on November 20th at the NAAE annual convention in Nashville, Tenn.

Emerson works as the Director of Student Development and Recruitment at the University of Florida College of Agriculture. She has provided numerous services to educators, programs and students; serving as a judge for FFA proficiency competitions, including parliamentary procedure and career development events (CDE) at the local, district, state and national levels, and presenting workshops at conferences for Florida agriculture and career and technical educators. Emerson was one of three Florida Association of Agricultural Educators (FAAE) members who created the Florida FFA specialty license plate, and she was instrumental in establishing Florida FFA Ag on the Hill Day, an event that brings FFA members to the state capitol to participate in mock Senate sessions and meet agricultural lobbyists.

As a former Florida agriculture teacher, Emerson received numerous awards, including the NAAE Outstanding Middle/Secondary Program in 2005, Florida FFA Agriscience Teacher of the Year in 2006, and District Teacher of the Year for the Union County School District. She has been a nationally board certified teacher since 2002.

Each of the six regional Outstanding Cooperation award winners received special recognition at the annual NAAE convention in Nashville. Forrest T. Jones sponsors the Outstanding Cooperation Award.

NAAE is the professional association for agricultural educators. The mission of NAAE is “professionals providing agricultural education for the global community through visionary leadership, advocacy and service.” The NAAE office is located in Lexington, Ky.
