Today, June 1, 2009, Dr. Maxine Kilcrease announced her resignation as chief administrator of Heartland AEA after close to three years with the Agency. She has accepted the position of executive director of the Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB).
“It has been a privilege to serve at Heartland, and I am confident that the Agency will continue on the pathway to increased excellence," Dr. Kilcrease said. “I leave knowing that there is a clear focus on student achievement and that the Agency is strongly rooted in a new regional system of service delivery that has made a major difference for our students and families, staff, teachers, leaders and other partners. I look forward to working collaboratively with the Agency in the future and supporting the work of Heartland and area education agencies in any way possible.”
Heartland AEA wishes Dr. Kilcrease success in her new endeavor with IASB. She will transition into her new position this summer, tentatively around July 1, 2009.
