“It’s access to all of the things that are out there that are important for you to know as a school board member, whether it’s laws, regulations, open meetings … whatever you have to deal with in terms of being an effective school board within your district.”

Karen Druszczak
Genoa City Joint 2 School Board

“Most valuable to me is sitting amongst other board members, talking with them and hearing their district stories, successes and challenges — and their individual views on policies and budget items that affect them both from state and local perspectives. My mentality is that WASB events are professional development for board members, and as board members encourage staff and administration to get professional development, we should as well.”

Chris Dickinson
Stratford School Board

“The tools are as expansive and useful as you make them when you gain access to WASB and you find some people that you like to connect with.”

Martha Siravo
Madison Metropolitan School Board

“I enjoy learning, presenting information back to the board and learning about what other people are doing in their districts. After all, it’s all about the kids and we want to make life better for them.”

“The organization is a huge benefit to school board members and school districts — to really support you in your mission of having great school districts and making sure kids have awesome outcomes.”

Shannon Grabko
DC Everest School Board

“The WASB provides unparalleled information, guidance and networking opportunities.

I strongly encourage board members to take advantage of the vast knowledge of the staff. The WASB resources will make you a better and more effective school board member.”

Patrick Sherman
Lake Geneva UHS School Board

“We are fortunate as board members to have the WASB as a one-stop shop in which we can seek assistance to provide the best possible education for all of our students regardless of the size or the location of our districts.”

Sue Todey
Sevastopol School Board

“The tools and resources that are available through this organization are outstanding. One of my favorite things to do is network with districts around the state. And I find that other schools provide insight as to ideas that we could be using in our own school setting.”
