A Letter from USBA's President, Peggy Jo Kennett

For two and a half days in December, your USBA officers attended NSBA Pacific Region training for State Association leaders in Las Vegas. This was a great opportunity for us. Mark Marsh has served this year as Chair for the Pacific Region and has done a great job in that role.
 
I look forward to seeing each one of you at the annual USBA Conference in January. All of our sessions and workshops are focused on building our capacity to be more effective School Board Members. It will be a great conference!
 
Thank you for the opportunity this year to serve as your USBA President! It is an honor for me to represent you and I appreciate your support.
