You might notice that all three of your Governance District 4 board members have been appointed by President Smith to serve on a subcommittee to create a plan to help small locals build/rebuild, along with engaging members of higher ed, students, and eMerge members. This will be no small task but I am incredibly excited to work on this special project. I've witnessed small/rural locals surrounding my own fade as the years pass. It started with inactivity followed by membership loss--one or two members at a time until there is only a handful left. The future of this association rests in the hands of our young educators. How do we get them involved? How do we make our association relevant to them? How do we make activity and engagement in our association desirable to our young educators?
PLEASE, please share with me your thoughts, any information, any ideas, or anything else you feel might give us some insight, direction, data, anything related to our task. You can email me at holly.bennett@mnea.org or call me at 816.720.4076 if you prefer to talk in person.
