House Democratic Leader Danny Morgan and Republican state Rep. Lee Denney have received the Distinguished Service Award at the Oklahoma Career and Technology Education Summer Conference.
Morgan, of Prague, and Denney, of Cushing, received the award Tuesday in Oklahoma City. It recognizes individuals or organizations outside CareerTech for their contributions to the improvement and development of the state's career vocational and technical training program.
The annual conference is the major professional development activity for Oklahoma CareerTech teachers, counselors, administrators and state staff.
Participants learn innovative technical and instructional skills and also have the opportunity to learn from their counterparts throughout the state.
