Educational Leadership

I have served on the VSTE Board of Directors first from 2006-2012 and I just completed another term. I have served the organization as a secretary, vice chair, and currently am the chair of the Board. My educational leadership experience has been varied as I see leadership very much as a servant role. I have served to bring groups together here in Region 7 by supporting regional meetings of tech directors and ITRTs as well as supporting leadership development through my work on the Southwest VA Leadership Conference and virtual learning series.

Vision for VSTE

While change is never easy, VSTE is in an exciting position. As we begin the shift in our Executive Director position, the Board has taken steps to restructure our personnel in a way that builds capacity for growth and added service to the Commonwealth. This puts VSTE in a wonderful position for growth and strong continued commitment to our core values of advocacy, professional learning, community, and innovation. My vision for the next three years is building upon the work completed and begun by our committees to build resources, provide leadership and support to schools, and continue to build solid relationships with our partners and sponsors.
