United Way of Acadiana and the Lafayette Education United Way of Acadiana and the Lafayette Education Foundation are officially merged! We received approval last week from the Louisiana Secretary of State completing the last step in the merger agreement announced earlier this year. In the agreement, we will assume the responsibilities of the LEF endowment, investing the earnings in educational programming for the benefit of Lafayette Parish students. The spending of those funds will be recommended by an advisory committee comprised of five former LEF board members for at least five years. “We are thrilled that now the team at United Way of Acadiana can really do what they do best – which is invest in improving educational outcomes for children in our community,” said Blaise Zuschlag, the president of LEF that helped to shepherd the merger process. We successfully hosted the Teacher Awards in the spring of 2021 as a partnership with the LEF board while the agreement was being finalized, allowing the awards ceremony to continue during the school year most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022 Teacher Awards, presented by Love Our Schools, will be held at the Heymann Performing Arts Center on January 27. Nominations for all Lafayette Parish teachers are open until November 21. For more information, visit www.unitedwayofacadiana.org/teacherawards.
