recognition plaques

Honor your top student(s) with a WJEA plaque

One of the many benefits of WJEA membership is the opportunity to order a beautiful plaque, engraved with the name of your top graduating senior. Orders are limited to one free plaque per WJEA member, regardless of the number of media advised.

The first 50 members ordering plaques receive one FREE plaque, if ordering by April 30. Orders placed after April 30 are not guaranteed delivery before the end of May. It takes 3-4 weeks from the time the order is placed until delivery. No plaque orders will be accepted after May 30.

Mounted on a 6 X 8 inch wooden backing, the metal plate is engraved with the WJEA logo, and honors your chosen student for their dedication and hard work.
