As an association member, you know that Learning Forward’s vision is "Every educator engages in exemplary professional learning so every student excels."  Our board members live and breathe Learning Forward’s vision every day, whether in their day-to-day positions in their organizations or through their service to Learning Forward.

The members of our board guided the direction of the association by establishing its mission: Learning Forward sets the standard for professional learning and builds the capacity of educators to equitably serve all students. They also act as ambassadors for Learning Forward and advocates for changes in policy to support and sustain leadership for effective professional learning. Finally, board members model for other leaders how they can implement the Standards for Professional Learning to improve teaching and learning for all students in every school.

If you share our commitment to professional learning and continuous improvement, I invite you to apply to become a candidate in the annual Board of Trustees election. Peruse these board materials and consider how you might activate that commitment by joining us on our journey to change the landscape of professional learning.

We appreciate your ongoing support of Learning Forward.

Sincerely,

Sue Sarber
2024 Learning Forward Board Chair
