Dr. Gail M. Swor was nominated by her peers in the West Suburban MESPA
Division because of her commitment to modeling and promoting leadership
in the principalship. In nominating Dr. Swor, Joan Maland (principal
at Indian Mounds Elementary and current president-elect of the West
Suburban division) said: “We know as leaders to expect the unexpected,
and deal with it in a way that demonstrates flexibility and desire to
maintain the integrity of the institution. Gail did just that. One year
ago, Gail stepped into the role of division president with the
understanding of a one-year commitment. However, due to unforeseen
circumstances, when the president-elect was unable to fulfill the
president obligations, Gail, without hesitation volunteered to continue
with the leadership responsibilities.
“Gail is an active,
reflective principal. She thoughtfully considers all the options when
discussing challenges that we face on a daily basis. All of her
Bloomington colleagues have benefited from that skillful thinking-both
through her suggestions to us and as a model for that kind of forward
thinking."
