Congratulations Monica Treptow

DPI's School Library Media Consultant Monica Treptow was recently named WEMTA 2024 Professional of the Year. WEMTA 2024 Professional of the Year. The award, presented by the Wisconsin Educational Media & Technology Association (WEMTA), recognizes a member of the Association for their leadership and professionalism in the library, media, or educational technology profession in service to K-12 students, teachers, and the community. 

The announcement in Wisconsin Libraries for Everyone included the following information : "In their nomination, the group warmly reflected on Treptow’s amazing contribution to Wisconsin’s schools and librarians, “Monica has been a true leader in the field, bringing together experienced professionals, supporting those new to the role and providing fresh opportunities for continuous professional growth for everyone…. Whether facilitating a meeting of library and technology leaders from Wisconsin’s five largest school districts or working with CESA's to create connections across the most rural counties, Monica truly has impacted all corners of our state.”

We echo these accolades and are thrilled at Monica's award. She has been a tireless advocate and leader for school and public library collaboration on a local and statewide level. She works closely with her DPI public library consultant colleagues on many projects including the statewide collaborative group "Connecting WI Libraries" that supports school library and public library collaboration and networking.
