On November 20, 2009, the Vermont Business Teachers’ Association held their Fall Conference at the Franklin Conference Center in Rutland, Vermont. Ms. Nancy Deuel was awarded the Barbara Gerardi Foley Award In Business Education by Melissa Connor, VBTA President.
Starting her teaching over 40 years ago, Nancy was instrumental in the transition from typewriting to keyboarding at Stafford Technical Center and Rutland High School, as well as teaching Shorthand, Typing I and II, Keyboarding, Computer Applications, E Commerce, and Accounting as well as other business related skills.
Because of her love for Accounting and Business Principles, Nancy has inspired students to major in these areas after graduating high school, and consider business careers they may otherwise have not if not influenced by Nancy’s passion for accounting.
In addition to teaching, Nancy has been a long term member of VBTA and has been an advisor for FBLA. Receiving her business education degree from Castleton State College, this business teacher exemplifies a native Vermonter who has been educated, worked, and lives in the Green Mountain State.
Nancy is now retired and we are all very proud of her accomplishments and congratulate her on this award.
