Rocky Mountain District Key Club International

Carol Wallander/Tony Perea Outstanding Faculty Advisor Award The Rocky Mountain District Key Club Board of Trustees has established the Carol Wallander/Tony Perea Outstanding Faulty Advisor Award as a way to reward and thank those faculty advisors who go above and beyond their duty in making Key Club in their high school prosper. This award is a way of thanking those faculty advisors who give so much of their time and themselves to assist our young leaders to excel in both academics and service. Carol Wallander was a long time faculty advisor at Rampart High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado. For numerous years, she dedicated countless hours of time to Key Club at both the club and district levels. Mrs. Wallander retired from teaching in 1997 and this award was originally named for her as a way of keeping her love for Key Club alive and well in the Rocky Mountain District. In 2007, ten years after the award was established, another name joined Mrs. Wallander’s in the title; Tony Perea. In addition to coaching wrestling, football, basketball, track, and golf, as well as teaching Social Studies, Tony Perea was the Key Club Faculty Advisor at Monte Vista High School, Monte Vista, Colorado. He was completely devoted to his students, athletes, and Key Clubbers. He truly believed that all teenagers have voices and that they should be heard. Coach Perea never forgot about his students or Key Club. After his sudden death in January, 2007, the Rocky Mountain District of Key Club International added his name to the award, proving that we will never forget him. THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO THIS AWARD:

1. The Rocky Mountain District of Key Club International Board of Trustees will supply to each club in the Rocky Mountain District, through the convention mailing, a form outlining the criteria on which this award will be based.

2. Those Key Clubs nominating an advisor will bring the completed nomination form with them to the District Convention to be turned in during the first day of the convention. Nomination forms may also be sent in to the Key Club District Administrator prior to the convention.

3. The nomination form shall be completed as outlined, with no sections omitted. Any violation of this will result in disqualification. 4. No faculty advisor involved directly with the Board of Trustees shall be eligible for the award. 5. Upon receiving the applications at the District Convention, the Board of Trustees, or their designees, including a member of the Rocky

Mountain District Kiwanis Committee for Key Club will evaluate each candidate to determine which advisors have sufficiently met the criteria to receive the award.

6. Each year there will be no more than two faculty advisors selected to receive the award. 7. Any questions regarding this award shall be directed to a member of the Executive Committee of the Rocky Mountain Board of Trustees
