As a prospective member of the CoSN Board of Directors, what do you view as the top three priorities for improving K-12 information technology?

Priority One:

Creating a new vision for K-12 information technology.

Priority Two:

Increasing funding at a state and national level by building awareness of technology's role in teaching and learning 21st century skills.

Priority Three:

Continue to provide thought leadership for educational technology leaders and influencers.

I wish become a member of the CoSN Board of Directors because:

The education industry is a wonderful industry to dedicate one’s career and I have had the good fortune of being able to do just that for over 20 years. Focusing on educational technology since 1984, I have learned many things, but the most important lessons learned were not about technology – they were about the value of advocacy, information and networking. Being a member of the CoSN Board will allow me to significantly contribute to advocacy, information and networking efforts.

If elected, I bring the following skills to the CoSN Board of Directors:

Veteran educational technology experience (20+ years) -I currently serve as the CoSN Marketing and Products Committee co-chair. In that capacity I have learned a lot about CoSN operations and objectives and will be an immediately effective Board member. -I am personally interested in emerging technologies for education and actively follow and analyze industry trends. -I am a strategic thinker who brings a high degree of energy and enthusiasm to projects.

I believe the most important goals for CoSN to achieve as a leading K-12 technology organization are:

As a member of the CoSN Board of Directors I will work to achieve the following goals: -Drive institutional and corporate membership and participation. -Establish strategic partnerships to facilitate CoSN objectives. -Increase the value-proposition of CoSN membership.
