President's Palette
Happy 2018! I hope your new year is off to a great start and that you had a relaxing holiday break!
I would like to thank the following board members who are rolling off for their service and dedication to the SC Art Education Association: Jen Pierce (Eastern Region), Grace Smith (Western Region), and Jennifer Neubauer (Elementary). I would like to especially thank Meg Skow (Past-President and Vice President Elect for the Southern Region of the NAEA) for her years of dedication, fantastic conferences and leadership to the SCAEA! We are so lucky that she is continuing on and representing us on the National level!
As I roll into the position of Past-President, I have enjoyed working on the past conferences and look forward to assisting our new President, Cynthia Hudson, and President-Elect, Cindy Riddle, on the next few. As well, I am thrilled and honored to continue working with Meg Skow as her VP Elect for the SE Region starting in March!
I would like to welcome our newest board members: Miranda Roop, who is filling the unexpired term of Central Region, Sandi Carson (Western Region), Amber Harrar (Eastern Region), and Mollye Crowell Spitler (Elementary). We are looking forward to your leadership rolls with the SCAEA.
The SCAEA has some wonderful upcoming mini conferences (Western Region,
January 27th and Lower Region,
February 3rd) and the National Art Honor Society Conference at USC (
March 3rd). Information on all of these are on our FB page, constant contact emails and the SCAEA website. As well, don't forget about the NAEA conference in Seattle,
March 22-24th and all of our YAM activities!
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2018 at all of our wonderful events!
All the best,
Catherine
