7:45- WASCD President’s Report- President, Ryan Ruggles
Ryan reiterated that we are instructional leaders for the state and we will keep this in mind as we plan future opportunities. Feedback to Ryan has included work that can specifically support instructional coaches and their needs. Once we enact our rebrand it will be our mission to immediately push forward with our new brand to bring in more members - no lag time.
7:50- Annual ASCD Report- Executive Director, Maria Kucharski
Maria continuously liaises with ASCD as the affiliate programs “sunset”. It should be noted that if one registers for ASCD/ISTE you become a voting member of the organization. They will be staying with their original branding in the immediate future. In 2026 they will likely roll out a new brand at that time. They will also be combining the ASCD and ISTE conference for one national conference. The combined conference will take place at the end of June. Next year it will be in San Antonio. There is so much exciting work to be done in the next year and Maria will keep us informed of news as it occurs.
Next board meeting will be in Stevens Point in December. Please send any agenda items you’d like included to Ryan. Please bring ideas for authors you’d like to see our organization collaborate with. We’ll have some team building after the meeting.
