Elman is also involved in the Connecticut Association of Agriculture Educators, 4-H and many other agriculture organizations.
The Teachers Turn the Key (TTTK) award is a national scholarship program that allows early career agricultural educators to attend the annual NAAE convention and gives them an opportunity to become involved with their professional association on a national level.

By being selected for the TTTK award, Elman will be able to connect with other agricultural education professionals who are at a similar point in their careers.
