“This award is the highest honor I could possibly attain in my current role as a business technology educator, and to earn it at such an early state of my career is honestly breathtaking, humbling, yet extremely rewarding,” Bracey said. She added that being nominated by someone from another state makes her “even more grateful.”
An active member since she was an undergraduate student, Bracey credits her NBEA involvement to a professor and mentor. Now, she emphasizes to her own students the importance of professional organizations.
