The Romaine P. Mackie Award is to honor an outstanding professional who has demonstrated leadership in CEC and other organizations for an extensive period of time in various areas within the field: service delivery; teacher education and professional development; research; policy; assessment; and publications. The individual should be nominated by someone who is familiar with the nature and quality of his/her work and who can speak to the nominee's character.

The award is named for Romaine P. Mackie, a former US Commissioner of Education, an active CEC member, and a devout supporter of special education in the early years who promoted the mission of CEC in all her work.
