The award is annually given to a state board of education member in recognition of outstanding service to public education.
  
  "Clair Orr has helped improve Colorado's education system through his principled leadership and commitment to the best interests of the state's schoolchildren. For more than a decade, Clair has served on the state board where he helped develop and enact the testing and accountability system for which the state has earned a national reputation. As chairman of the state board during the Columbine tragedy, Clair Orr was a model of calm and compassionate leadership in trying times," said Brenda Welburn, NASBE Executive Director.
  ...
  Clair Orr was elected in 1994 to represent Colorado's second largest congressional district in area, covering half of the northern and all of the eastern region of the state, making him the longest-serving member of the Colorado State Board of Education. Clair was elected in 1999 as chairman and served in that capacity during the tragedy at Columbine. His tireless efforts on behalf of Colorado's students over the past ten years have been very influential on a number of education issues, including implementing a standards-based accountability system, 13 statewide model content standards, the Colorado Student Assessment Program, accreditation, educator standards, and School Land Trust reform. Clair is a fourth generation rancher and a native of Colorado. He participated in many NASBE activities, including the Governmental Affairs Committee.
