President of Tech Ed Concepts, Inc. Receives "Friend of Technology Education" Award

Amarosa is Recognized Again for Dedication to Technology Education

Gorham, ME - March 28, 2002 - Richard Amarosa, President of Tech Ed Concepts, Inc., North American Academic Distributor for CADKEY®, DataCAD® and SURFCAM® recently received the "Friend of Technology Education" award from the Technology Education Association of Maine (TEAM.) The award was presented by John Kraljic, Engineering Technology Teacher (Falmouth High School, Falmouth, ME), at TEAM's annual conference at the University of Southern Maine in Gorham. "

"Dick was honored with TEAM's Friend of Technology Education award for his years of continual support to the profession. Tech Ed Concepts' annual TEC Summer Camp for Instructors has filled a gap that was created when state and federal funding for technology education summer academies and institutes dried up," said Kraljic. "The level of support that teachers can expect from Tech Ed Concepts is unparalleled," Kraljic affirmed.

In receipt of his award, Amarosa said, "The State of Maine has one of the most organized and focused organizations for technology education in the country from my experience and travels. The technology education that exists today has been self-implemented by the dedication of the technology educators. Maine instructors have always considered their students to be their customers and understand that serving their customers with life knowledge is critical to young people."

Amarosa was also the recipient of the International Technology Education Association (ITEA) Vendor of the Year Award for 2001.
