Why OAEA?

 I’m taking charge of my career and I’m taking advantage of all resources.
​-Bev Finkel

The Circa Society was established in 1992 to recognize and thank members who support and contribute to OAEA through their membership.  The first level of recognition is at 15 years of membership and then recognitions are presented every five years after that with a certificate and small gift at the annual professional development conference awards ceremony.

As an example: If you have been a continuous member since 2003-04 or before, you are eligible to be inducted in the OAEA Circa Society in 2019. Even if you missed a year, but have at least 15 years membership you qualify for the entry level award. If you received an award in 2014 and have been a member each year since then you will be eligible for the next level award in 2019.
​
Though we have records of most past recipients it is helpful if you believe you are eligible for an award this year that you also send in an application. It’s easy to become a part of the Circa Society, just apply using the application form below.  If you have any questions please contact membership@ohioarted.com

You must be a current member at the time of application and at conference. If you are unable to attend conference your award will be mailed to you after that date.
