Jack Kinnaman Scholarship
The NEA-Retired Jack Kinnaman Memorial Scholarship was created in the memory of Jack Kinnaman, Vice President and former Advisory Council member of the NEA-Retired. .jpg)
In addition, Jack represented NEA-Retired on the Fund for Children and Public Education and in numerous local, state, and national Association positions, Active and Retired.
He is most fondly remembered as NEA's "Cat in the Hat." Jack cared about the students, especially those who were financially impacted and needed a helping hand. It is the family's wish that the scholarship go to such a student.
