Candidate Campaign Statement

I look forward to running for a regular position on the Board of Directors. This past year, I was an interim member of the board and learned much about CoSN. Now, I represent a key area that CoSN should take notice of and support and that is Charter Schools. I am principal of InTech Collegiate High School, a public charter high school open to any student interested in obtaining a quality education. I support CoSN and its effort to provide timely information about technology to every school and industry. Its strong international focus must also continue.
