Superintendents should have received a calendar invitation to the Sept. 6 Heartland Administrators’ Association (HAA) meeting. The meeting will include an administrator-only learning session on Fundamentals of Communication and Media Interaction featuring Andy Garman with Wixted & Co. This is an in-person meeting only, with no Zoom option and it will not be recorded.
Lunch will be provided immediately following the meeting. Please accept or decline your calendar invitation as it will be used as a headcount for ordering lunch.
If you wish to bring an extra person, such as your Comms or PR person, please contact Jenny Ugolini. We will be monitoring attendance as attendance will be capped.
The search for a new Heartland AEA chief administrator began this week after the board of directors approved Hazard Young and Attea (HYA) to lead that search process. The search will begin immediately with the intention of a new chief administrator being selected by winter break in December 2022. Current chief administrator Jon Sheldahl will retire at the end of June 2023. Sheldahl has led the agency since 2017.
