Local board members named to state committees
Three local board members have been named to federal, state and regional committees of the Ohio School Boards Association, according to a release from the OSBA.
Northwestern board veteran Donna Myers, president elect of the OSBA’s Southwest region, has been named to the OSBA board of trustees, the conference planning committee, federal relations network and southwest regional executive committee.
Long-time Northeastern board member Leonard Kadel has also been named to the federal relations network.
And Anna Bucy of Greenon schools will join Myers on the Southwest executive committee.
The OSBA is a support organization for board members in Ohio and the board of trustees is its’ governing body. The 21 member committee has representatives from each of Ohio’s six largest districts (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron and South-Western) and 16 board members selected by the OSBA’s five regional associations.
The Southwest regional committee covers Clark and Champaign counties, but also Adams, Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Darke, Greene, Hamilton, Highland, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, Shelby, and Warren counties.
The conference planning committee is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: the people in charge of the annual OSBA Capital Conference which is held in November and hundreds of local board members descend on Columbus.
The Federal Relations Network is a “grassroots lobbying force” of local board members who take up the cause on federal issues. If you’ve got a complaint about something at the federal level, like NCLB, these are the board members you want to get that complaint to. Kadel and Myers have both been on this committee before and were in D.C. a couple months ago meeting with legislators about education issues.
