1.  FROM THE PAST CHAIR

As 2020 begins, the EdDiv board is transitioning to new roles. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have served as Chair for the last two years. EdDiv is a vibrant and growing community that is truly a team effort. The 7 other elected members - Ben Davis, Daniel Lepek, Katie Cadwell, Taryn Bayles, Dan Burkey, Priscilla Hill, and Shannon Ciston - have done an outstanding job with programming and numerous committees.  I look forward to serving the Division and its members for two more years as past chair and hosting you at the Division dinner at the Annual Meeting.  Thank you to all!

- Matt Liberatore, Education Division Past Chair

Within you will find the 27 EdDiv members volunteering their time on different initiatives, which exemplifies our community’s openness to new people, new ideas, and our ability to collaborate. Feel free to reach out to any of the board members if you would like to volunteer in 2020!
