Why MESPA?
“MESPA has been my support system from the time I entered the Principalship. I have been nurtured with personal and professional development over the years, by attending association meetings and trainings. These learning opportunities have helped me become a better leader, therefore making me, my school, teachers, and students successful. The relationships I have established with all of the Principals I have met through MESPA are amazing. They have become my mentors and life long friends. Our association has helped me know the value of giving back to the profession I love. Thank you for being there MESPA!” -- Sandy Nelson, principal, Rossman Elementary School, Detroit Lakes
 
“MESPA provides principals with networking which is so valuable! You can find wisdom, enthusiasm, support and professional development from the MESPA organization and through the networking.” -- Lisa Pikop, principal, Garfield/Miltona/Carlos Elementary, Alexandria
 
“My membership in MESPA has been a valued resource during my tenure as a principal. From the networking at division meetings to the professional development that is offered to membership, one can always find someone to help you learn and grow in the increasingly important work of the principal.” --  Louis Rutten, principal, Wadena-Deer Creek
