AESA Executive Searches
AESA's Executive Search Service is designed especially for educational service agencies (ESAs). Selecting the right CEO for your agency is the board’s most important role. Finding a CEO who will achieve the vision and mission of your ESA and serve the school districts in your region is an important decision that will impact school districts’ effectiveness, efficiency, and improve student achievement. 
The AESA Executive Search Service is designed to make hiring a CEO a positive experience. We offer a highly-customized service with maximum flexibility in the decision-making process. Contact John Bass, AESA Chief Operating Officer at jbass@aesa.us.

Federal Advocacy Committee Meeting...Register Now!
If you are already the state representative, please be sure to reserve your seat at the virtual table today!
For more information on how to represent your state, please contact Joan Wade, AESA Executive Director.
Each year, members of the AESA Federal Advocacy Committee work together to formalize AESA's federal legislative agenda. The AESA priority agenda represents the federal advocacy work that focuses on ESAs specifically.

This year's meeting of the Federal Advocacy Committee is virtual on February 11-12, 2021. This is the meeting where AESA members set the legislative agenda for 2021. The meeting is free for any AESA member to attend, however, if a vote is needed on any issue, there is only one vote per state cast.

Membership of AESA's Federal Advocacy Committee is comprised of one representative from each state that has an ESA as a member of AESA. The representatives to the committee are selected by the ESAs of that state. It is important that every state is represented!
