The New Heights Educational Group (NHEG) announces that its annual Recognition Day event will be
held online via Zoom this year. Students, teachers/tutors, partners, affiliates, donors and volunteers
from around the world are recognized and celebrated during this event. This year’s Recognition Day
will be held on June 20, 2021, from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. EST.

Pamela Clark, Executive Director of NHEG, stated “This event is special because we will be celebrating
15 years since NHEG was created on June 1, 2006. There were only three people at that first meeting:
Pat Carr, of Wauseon, who came up with the organization’s name at the second meeting held in Defiance;
Margaret Spangler, who became a great driving force in our struggles and achievements; and of
course myself.

On March 5, 2021, New Heights Educational Group (NHEG) was recognized by Governor Mike DeWine and
Lt. Governor Jon Husted for our nomination for a 2021 ServeOhio Award. The Governor and Lt. Governor
thanked us for our volunteer service and the positive difference we’ve made in the lives of others, writing,
“We are grateful for your efforts in creating stronger, healthier communities for all
Ohioans.”
Pamela Clark, NHEG Executive Director, stated, “Thank you, Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon
Husted. Your recognition means so much to our organization and the important work we do. We appreciate
the beautiful certificate and kind
words.”
This was always my dream, and Pat and Margaret were actually families that I served in the consortium
I ran before NHEG. I’m the last of the original three who is still involved in the program, but Pat
and Margaret both left a mark of change and inspiration. NHEG is now run by me, with the help of the
current 94 volunteers from all over the world. So many wonderful memories have been made and
achievements realized, and I’m thankful to everyone who has been part of the program now and in the
past.
None of us could foresee or dream the amazing accomplishments of our organization.”
