Four Leaders Are 2025 WEAC President’s Award Recipients

WEAC President Peggy Wirtz-Olsen presented President’s Awards to Georgine Erickson of the Baraboo Secretarial/Clerical Organization, Tammy Erickson of Glenwood City Support Staff, Amelia McConnell of Verona ESP, and Amy Turkowski of Madison Teachers Inc.

President’s discretionary awards recognize exemplary leadership and extraordinary effectiveness in members serving in WEAC leadership roles.

Wirtz-Olsen said, “These union leaders have not just stepped up to take on demanding leadership roles, they have excelled in those roles and continued to take on more responsibility, workload and personal risk for the sake of their students, schools, locals, regions and our union.”

McConnell, Turkowski and Tammy Erickson received the awards at the 2025 WEAC Representative Assembly in Wisconsin Dells. Georgine Erickson was unable to attend but was also recognized.
