2006
I’ll always have fond memories of my year as OSPA President. As many previous Presidents have remarked, just when I started to feel like I got a handle on things, my term was up. Some highlights of my year included working with the great Ann Brennan to strengthen our partnerships within ODE, collaborating with the incomparable Cheryl Van Den Berge to streamline various internal policies and procedures, appointing the “tech guru” Jeff York to improve our technological communications, asking the relentlessly prepared Brian Hill to lead our OSPA Crisis Committee, and enlisting the resources of OSPA to support the Ohio Integrated Systems Model. I was very fortunate to work with so many committed professionals, such as our dedicated conference chairs (Jay, Sue, Sal, and Elaine), NASP delegate (Juliette), President-Elect (John), Treasurer (Lynn), and Past Presidents (Valorie, George, Sharon, Janet, Chuck, and Antoinette). I was also very appreciative of the encouragement and support provided to me by the faculty at Kent State University, particularly Drs. Mcloughlin and Telzrow, and by my work supervisor, Dr. Elizabeth Bard. Thank you all for the great honor of serving as your OSPA President.
