2017-2018: Deborah Sanders, Educational Consultant & Representative for Heinemann Publishing, Steps to Literacy, and Snap Learning in North Florida and the Panhandle.

A former primary teacher in Brevard County, Debbie Sanders, has now for many years served the education community as a consultant and sales representative. Debbie was nominated for this award for going far beyond the usual responsibilities of a publishing representative and providing exceptional support to the Duval County Reading Council.

Her generous support as a sponsor has allowed the organization to provide services and benefits to members that would have otherwise not been possible. Her love of children and respect for teachers is evident in the many ways she reaches out to support professional organizations.
