NACTA Roundup with President Cheryl Wachenheim
Happy New Year!!! January is awesome. Plenty of time to enjoy winter sports; a fresh semester with new students; and the opportunity to reflect on the past year as we work on annual reports. This January marks for me a return to the faculty after serving for one year as interim chair to
accommodate a sabbatical. I learned a lot in the role. The role reinforced how thankful I am for our practice of building leaders in NACTA, and that our policies and processes reinforce that members are welcomed and encouraged to use their voice from the day they join. I have been a member of NACTA for approximately three decades and yet each week I seem to learn something new; often from the questions or challenges of a new member. This week I took an opportunity to reread our bylaws and standing rules to refresh myself on the framework and rules we have set for ourselves. I challenge you to do the same. I am so very thankful for each of you, and look forward to working with you in 2025! Here is to a great new year. Reach out at any time. Cheryl. Top ↑
