MASA's 5 minute update with Executive Director Gary Amoroso...
Welcome to another episode of Take 5!
Today I share some thoughts on...
1. Membership Renewals:
MASA membership packets were mailed out earlier this month, please remember to send in your renewals. I also recommend you consider membership in our national organization, AASA. One of the most important benefits of AASA membership is the legal support you are given. As a reminder, committee sign-up is all electronic this year so please visit the MASA Web site to sign up.
2. Legends Conference:
The second annual Legends Conference will be held July 25-27 at Sugar Lake Lodge in Grand Rapids. Legends is a retreat for women in educational leadership that presents an opportunity for learning, sharing and reflection. Remember, you do not have to be a member of MASA to attend this conference. Watch for registration materials in June.
3. What We Are Reading blog:
I wanted to encourage you to visit MASA's What We Are Reading blog to find two new postings regarding books that will be featured in the upcoming Legends and CLM Conference.
4. Contracts:
Are you entering the last year of your contract? Now is the time to work on your new contract. Statute allows you to have a new contract within one year of expiration of your current contract. If you have any questions or would like some guidance on this process, please give me a call.
5. Regional Meetings:
I'm looking forward to attending the spring regional meetings. I will be with the Southwest superintendents on May 30, in Region 3 on June 6, attending the Northwest Service Cooperative retreat June 6 - 8 and in Region 7 on June 12.
As always, please contact me at anytime and thank you for all that you do for the children of Minnesota!
Gary A.
