Board leaders recognized
By Stew Slater
SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -ADVOCATE
DUBLIN — Two leaders of the Huron -Perth Catholic
District School Board have been recognized by their col-
leagues from across Ontario, and will receive awards in
April.
Lifelong educator and trustee Ron Marcy of Stratford,
who has served numerous terms as Huron -Perth board
chairperson and currently sits as chairperson of the
management committee, will receive the 2008 Award of
Merit from the Ontario Catholic School Trustees
Association (OCSTA).
The award "is to recognize long service ... and distin-
guished contribution to Catholic education," explained
fellow Stratford resident Bernard Murray, who repre-
sents Perth South and West Perth on the board. Murray,
current Huron -Perth chairperson, also happens to be
OCSTA president, but was quick to note he did not serve
on the Award of Merit selection committee.
The award will be presented at the provincial organi-
zation's 2008 annual general meeting April 25 in
Niagara Falls. According to Murray, OCSTA normally
chooses just one award -winner from the list of nomi-
nees, but special circumstances (one award -winner will
be recognized posthumously) led the committee to select
three deserving recipients this year.
Murray doesn't recall any other member of the Huron -
Perth board ever receiving the OCSTA award. He noted
Marcy was nominated in 2007 but was not selected.
At another annual general meeting, April 15, Huron -
Perth education superintendent Martha Dutrizac will be
presented with the 2008 Distinguished Leadership
Award by the Ontario Catholic Supervisory Officers'
Association.
Dutrizac, who handles elementary curriculum, has
been with the board for about five years, since being
brought over from the London and District Catholic
board. Throughout that time, she has been active in get-
ting Huron -Perth educators involved in provincial cur-
riculum development initiatives, and bringing provincial
innovations to the Huron -Perth district.
"It's very exciting to have these awards coming to the
board," Murray commented.
