NEA Director

I was recently elected as NEA Director from the state of Idaho. This means I represent the 12,000 IEA Members on the National Education Association Board of Directors.  I am excited and humbled by this opportunity.  We had the first Board Meeting and Training last week in Washington D.C.  It was a busy week.  I learned a little bit more about my responsibilities, made tons of friends, and learned a lot.  I am excited to do the advocacy work for students and teachers at the National Level.  We have 4 Board Meetings a year along with the annual meeting in the summer, so I will be traveling a lot more.  I look forward to sharing my adventures and learning with all of you!
