The governing board provides overall direction for AASA, with special emphasis on policy-related areas. A smaller executive committee, consisting of regional members, oversees the more specific day-to-day responsibilities.
Of Iowa's three current representatives, one is the elected general administrator officer on SAI's executive committee, Tim Kuehl, Clear Creek-Amana superintendent; one is elected from the general administrators who serve on Rep Council, Mary Jo Hainstock, Vinton-Shellsburg superintendent; and one is an at-large Iowa AASA member elected by SAI's AASA active members, Theron Schutte, Bettendorf superintendent, whose term is expiring.
SAI is currently seeking candidates for election to the at-large seat. Responsibilities include attendance at two national meetings, one held during AASA's National Conference in Education in February and the other in July. Travel and expenses are covered for the July meeting. The individual (or his or her district) will be responsible for covering all expenses for the February meeting. This at-large term is for three years. Eligible candidates must have been an SAI and AASA member for the past three consecutive years.
To indicate your interest in being a candidate, please include a letter (or email) from your board president indicating that the district/organization will support your candidacy through time away from the district and any financial responsibilities that accompany the office, if the district is covering them. Please also submit a paragraph indicating why you are interested in serving on the AASA governing board, and a résumé.
Deadline to indicate your interest and submit your application is April 30, 2015. Application materials may be directed to Tracy Harms at tharms@sai-iowa.org or to the mailing address below.
