Fond du Lac, WI - Thursday, October 15, 2026 - During a recognition luncheon at the Wisconsin BEcoME IT Conference, Mischell Fryar was awarded Marketing Teacher of the Year by the Wisconsin Marketing Education Association (WMEA).  Fryar has been an active member of WMEA for 26 years.  “It was an honor to be recognized for my hard work and dedication to marketing education.  This one is extra special as it was voted on by my peers from around the state and presented by a former student who is also a marketing teacher,” stated Fryar.  She has held several positions on the WMEA board of directors for the past 25 years including secretary, secondary representative, president and currently is the treasurer; a position she has held since 2018.
