MWERA

I want to tell you about something that is truly near and dear to my heart–MWERA.

The Mid-Western Educational Research Association (MWERA) has been my professional development home since back in 1999 when I was master’s student at Northern Illinois University. I am now the MWERA VP & 2017 Program Chair. As I write this, the conference planning team and I are hard at work with recruiting and planning an exciting program for our October conference.

This year, we celebrate our 40th conference! I am excited to be leading the effort this year. It is a daunting task, but I have an amazing team of Division Chairs and the support of the MWERA board to see it through. What an exciting opportunity to serve an organization that has supported my professional growth for so many years.

I am grateful to be a part of the team! I hope any of you who read this will come out and join us this year. The deadline for submitting proposals is 11:59pm EDT on June 29, 2017. Even if you don’t want to submit this year, plan to attend–you will find it a very appealing professional conference experience!
