The 2017 Distinguished Service Award
Presented to
Caitriona Cooke

Caitriona Cooke is a natural leader; her outgoing, joyous and loving personality
delivered in her beautiful brogue.
She shows up. She gives. Of herself and her resources.
She chaired the NESEA Board, one of many gifts to our governance.
She is an energy ambassador, advocate, mentor, and guide.
Caitriona’s service to NESEA is,
by all measures, distinguished and inspiring.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a
fire. W.B. Yeats
