Washington, D.C.—Seven outstanding supporters of Catholic Education and one long-time educator received 2005 St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Awards during the National Catholic Educational Association’s (NCEA) fifteenth annual awards dinner and ceremony Oct. 3. Seven students from Catholic schools also received Seton scholarships in honor of the award recipients. William S. Conway, executive vice president of marketing and corporate communications for Mutual of America Life Insurance Company, was chairman of the 2005 event, which drew more than 500 people to the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The Seton award is NCEA’s highest honor, given in recognition of significant philanthropic or leadership contributions to Catholic education. The award is named in honor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821), who is regarded by many as the founder of the U.S. Catholic school network. ( Read More )
