AESD Executive Board
Our Role
The Executive Board provides oversight of AESD membership initiatives and executive sponsorship of statewide initiatives. These include ESD board member development and support; and annual meetings and conferences.
Our Approach
- We meet five times a year to guide member development activities and explore opportunities to collaborate.
- We invest in high quality resources and professional learning through our AESD Annual Conference to support new and veteran ESD board members.
- We facilitate an annual membership business meeting to assure a strong and sustainable infrastructure for the AESD.
- We inspire innovation within our agencies and across the AESD by empowering our ESD superintendents to collaborate across the nine ESDs and with statewide partners as a regional delivery system supporting statewide initiatives.
