What would be the professional development opportunities at the district and state levels?
A New Association, and the resources that come with it, would enable an enhanced focus on professional development at the local level. For instance, the New Association proposes two new staff positions that would be dedicated to supporting the districts, enabling volunteers to focus on program/content rather than logistics and event management. Additionally, closer coordination between districts and the international organization will result in a less duplicative and more strategic and accessible deployment of a wide variety of opportunities for all career levels. As an example, stronger district meetings would especially enhance affordable professional development for new and mid-level colleagues.
