The Wisconsin Association For Language Teachers presented Mark Tyler with their Anthony J. Gradisnik Award during their Fall Conference. The award may be conferred on an individual or group especially from outside the world language teaching profession who shares Mr. Gradisnik’s enthusiasm and advocacy for language education in such areas as international education, early language learning, and creative initiatives in language education.
Pam Delfosse, a consultant for International Education and World Languages with Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, nominated Mark for the award. In her nomination she sited Mark’s work with the Wisconsin Language Roadmap and the River Falls Chinese Language Program.
In March 2021, OEM Fabricators was named a Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year (MOTY) Honoree. The annual MOTY awards, which recognize Wisconsin’s leading manufacturers, are sponsored by Baker Tilly, Michael Best, and the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC). Unfortunately, this year’s evening reception in Milwaukee was canceled due to the Coronavirus. In addition, a list of 25 companies were honored rather than individual awards given. In a testament to the impact on their local communities, honorees shifted production lines to produce PPE, supported located communities through donations and charitable work, and innovated to speed up production for local supply chains.
A full list of the honorees and the MOTY can be viewed on the following link.
