Collapse ▲The Minnie Miller Brown Award is the highest honor given to an EFNEP Educator working in EFNEP. The award is given in memory of Minnie Miller Brown (1922-1995), the state’s first EFNEP Coordinator. She served in that role from 1969, when EFNEP was created, until her retirement in 1981. Professor Brown had a distinguished career as a teacher and program director. She was recognized nationally as a leader among EFNEP state coordinators. She inspired the EFNEP staff with a vision for helping improve conditions for a neglected audience—rural poor families and youth in North Carolina. Mrs. Brown is remembered with affection for her passion for and commitment to EFNEP. On her retirement, a special endowment was established within the North Carolina Agricultural Foundation of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to provide an annual award for the outstanding EFNEP Educator of the year in adult or youth outreach. The first Minnie Miller Brown Award was presented in 1982.
This year’s award winner is Seydel Cropps from Surry County!
Seydel Cropps has served the EFNEP program in Surry County for over 20 years.
During this time, she has shown excellence in programming, program leadership, and personal development. Seydel consistently exceeds her target participant goal reaching 138% of her goal this year. Being bilingual in English and Spanish gives her the ability to both relate to and speak the language of multiple cultures which is invaluable. She even taught in a county over an hour away from her office to serve Spanish speaking parents where there was no bilingual educator available.
Seydel is a true leader throughout the state. She has piloted a new program with WIC participants, recruited for and served on a panel discussion, allowed new educators to shadow her, served as facilitator of the statewide EFNEP representative group, and took on a lead role in hosting the 2024 NCAEPAAT professional association conference.
Congratulations, Seydel!
