This week on the Farm Focus podcast, we speak with Devin Fuhrman, Chief Agriculture & Sponsor Relations Officer for Nationwide, along with Michael Clark of Greenwood School District. Clark is the 2023 recipient of the Pennsylvania Golden Owl Award.
The Golden Owl Award honors agricultural teachers who devote countless hours, and often their own resources, to positively impact the lives of their students.
With the Golden Owl Award, students, fellow teachers, and other supporters can nominate their favorite agricultural teacher and summarize what makes him or her the best in their state. Nominees can win the distinction of being their state’s Agricultural Educator of the Year and the following prizes:
$500 and an engraved plaque to each regional winner
$3,000 and the coveted Golden Owl Award trophy to each state’s grand prize winner (Agricultural Educator of the Year)
In conjunction with the Golden Owl Award, Nationwide is donating $5,000 to each participating state’s FFA to further support the personal and professional growth of students, teachers, and advisors alike.
