District 1 Woman of the Year Heather Hadwick, Modoc County Office of Education, Nominated by Assemblywoman Megan Dahle This week‚ we had the privilege of celebrating the 1st Assembly District’s Woman of the Year‚ Heather Hadwick. As a former Office of Emergency Services director and expert in disaster management‚ Heather has played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of those affected by disasters‚ including the devastating Modoc Fires in 2022. Heather’s exceptional leadership and coordination during the Modoc Fires helped manage and communicate the evacuation process. As a result‚ she ensured the safety of those affected by the fires. She has also served as the Modoc County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Director of OES and now works as the Modoc County Office of Education Safety and Communications Specialist. Heather and her husband are also the proud owners of Hadwick Family Farm Pumpkin Patch in Alturas‚ where they raise Highland cattle‚ teach public safety to high school students‚ and volunteer their time to the community. As a woman in agriculture‚ Heather is a role model for young women who aspire to work in traditionally male-dominated fields. Her dedication to her work and community is a testament to her values and commitment to improving the lives of those around her. Additionally‚ Heather helps keep our office connected to everyone and everything going on in Modoc County. We are grateful for her commitment to improving her community‚ and I am proud to honor Heather’s accomplishments and recognize her as the 2023 Woman of the Year. Congratulations‚ Heather‚ and thank you for your dedication and service to our community. Assemblywoman Megan Dahle

Teacher of the Year Process Should Be Colleagues Nominating and interviewing on behalf of their colleagues. Not about who can write essays and talk about themselves. Otherwise, it becomes about the best interviewer and essay writer—not the best teacher. https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/the-national-teacher-of-the-year-award-a-call-to-service-or-a-popularity-contest/2023/02?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=soc&utm_campaign=edit
