Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center superintendent honored with Teamwork Award

ZANESVILLE – Superintendent Lori Snyder-Lowe of Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center (MVESC), was recently honored with the Teamwork Award from the Ohio Educational Service Center Association (OESCA). The award was presented in Columbus during the Ohio School Boards Association Capitol Conference.

OESCA Executive Director Craig Burford said in his 24 years in the position there's only been two other educational service center superintendents to receive the honor.

“It is great to see an ESC superintendent be recognized based upon the nomination by her peers," Burford said.

Superintendent Brenda Luhring of North Central Ohio ESC, nominated Lowe for the award. The nomination read in part, “Lori Snyder-Lowe is an example of what it means to be a team player. If she sees an opportunity to help districts and ESCs anywhere in the state, she will roll up her sleeves and get to work. She is always willing to share ideas, processes, and her time. She does not seek recognition or credit. She just wants what is best for children and school districts.”

Luhring went on to give examples of Lowe’s many contributions to innovative education initiatives statewide.

“I am honored to be recognized with the Teamwork Award and truly feel being nominated by my peers is the highest honor I can receive,” Lowe said. “I want to acknowledge the amazing MVESC team because without their dedication and teamwork behind the scenes every day, this award would not have been possible."

Lowe has also earned statewide recognition from the Buckeye Association of School Administrators, winning the Warren Russell Leadership Award and from the Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools, winning the Legislative Leadership Award and the President’s Award.
