WASHINGTON, D.C. — CSEA’s Central Region had much to be proud of during the award presentations at our 106th Annual Delegates Meeting this past October.

Our activists took home two of the union’s highest honors, the CSEA Mission Achievement Awards.

Receiving the Local Government Mission Achievement Award was former Otsego County Local activist (now retired) Linda Stiefel.

Our region once again took home the President’s Polar Cap Award, for the sixth time, for the region with the highest fund-raising total in our Polar Plunges. This past plunge season, our region raised nearly $23,000 for Special Olympics.
