MESPA Communicatons Committee
Dorschner_2
Matt Dorschner, MESPA President-Elect, Communications Committee Chair

MESPA communications, (Advocate, E-News, Web) are customized to the needs of education leaders. This committee, comprised of the presidents-elect from each division, determines what information is of interest to MESPA members, authors best-practice articles, and expands the audience and content of MESPA electronic communications (especially the MESPA Colleague to Colleague blog, and MESPA Division Web pages). The committee also serves as the Nominations Committee, putting forth a slate for statewide MESPA offices (president-elect, secretary/treasurer, NAESP representative) according to our bylaws. If you have recommendations for article/Web topics or MESPA candidates, contact this committee.
