Personal Message

Since receiving the Milken Educator Award in 1994 I have had many wonderful professional growth opportunities. The greatest of these is being appointed the Director of the Milken Educator Network. This allows me to work closely with other Milken Educators around the nation as they develop their state networks. I welcome any suggestions from my fellow recipients as to how I can help our network become a strong and powerful voice in the educational community and in the process build an even stronger sense of community among ourselves.
