  • Richael FertigMidwestern Intermediate Unit IV is proud to announce the 2022 Leadership Award recipient, Richael Fertig.
    Richael has served MIU IV for 24 years, 8 of those years as a Special Education Supervisor. 
    At our November Board Meeting, Richael was recognized with the Leadership Award for fostering and promoting the role and vision of a regional service agency. 
    Below are quotes from Richael's MIU IV colleagues expressing why Richael is so deserving of our 20th MIU IV Leadership Award.
     
    "Richael has been a steady and reliable presence; always ready to try something new, always ready to lead in a new direction. She is deserving and, in fact, overdue for this recognition."
    -Dr. Wayde Killmeyer, Executive Director, MIU IV
     
    "Richael offers guidance, encouragement, and assistance to her staff. It is not uncommon to see others seeking her out as a voice of reason or for a suggestion to solve a problem."
    -Melissa Wyllie, Director of Special Education Services, MIU IV
     
    "There is something special about a supervisor who makes you feel appreciated and valued within your place of employment. The kind and caring emails, phone calls, words of encouragement, check-ins, and simple 'thank yous' from Richael serve as a reminder that the work I do is both valued and appreciated."
    -Alison Paoletta, Educational Consultant, MIU IV
     
    Congratulations Richael! Your hard work, compassion, and dedication to our organization and its students embody our IU's vision and spirit. MIU IV is thankful to you.
