What is MESPA?

"I can't imagine serving in the principalship without the support and guidance of MESPA." 

--Jolene Landwer, Greenway Schools
(Northeast division), member since 1990

"Nobody knows the job of a principal better than another principal.  MESPA is for us, providing a roadmap through this multifaceted career, in our multicultural world."
Maria Castro, Saint Paul Schools
(St. Paul division), member since 1990

"In my first year as principal, the support and resources I received through MESPA were outstanding -- timely information through the Web site and newsletters, plus seminars applicable to daily practice, and a network of colleagues that is second to none."

Thomas Cawcutt, Cromwell-Wright Schools
(Northeast division), member since 2006
