From Short-Term Borrowing to Busting at the Seams

CESA 9's recently retired CEO will share key aspects of their growth journey in an engaging, informative, and inspiring presentation intended to support your next steps as leaders of educational service agencies.

|
|
Dr. Jerry Maze, Executive Director of Education Service Center (ESC) Region 12 in Waco, Texas has been chosen as this year’s recipient of the Peter C. Young Service Award by the Association of Educational Service Agencies (AESA). The award was presented at the AESA’s Summer Leadership Conference. The award recognizes an individual for extensive service leadership in the advancement of educational service agencies at the regional, state, or national level. Maze said he was surprised and delighted to receive the award, especially since Peter Young was one of the first people he met when he began his career with educational service agencies. “When I look at the list of previous winners of this award, I am so proud to be associated with such an amazing group of distinguished leaders,” said Maze. “It is very humbling.” |

Is the Executive Council in Your Future? |
|
AESA is governed by an executive council comprised of three representatives from each of four regions. Council members are elected each fall. Serving on the AESA Executive Council provides a great opportunity to influence and lead AESA!
AESA Bylaws, Article III, Section (b) states “In order to maintain 12 council members and have four-year terms of office, each region election council members three out of four years. The election sequence will be determined by the council with each region having a bye every four years.”
The 2022-2023 national nominations must come from the southern, central, and western regions. The eastern region has a bye and will not have a nominee. The states in the eastern region include Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The deadline for submitting nominations via email to jbass@aesa.us is September 16, 2022. For detailed information, click on the following document links:

August Book – Horse by Geraldine Brooks
Kentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack.
New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy
contemporary painters becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance.
Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success.
Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
