On behalf of the staff of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and our leadership team, I would like to thank the following members of our Standing Committees, Advisory Boards, and Panels whose terms of appointment end on May 31, 2014. NSTA has done a lot in the past year, promoting the Next Generation Science Standards and STEM education at the highest levels. I’m so proud to be a part of the NSTA community and can truly say that you have helped me live up to my goals of my year in office. My theme was Building and Sustaining Teacher Leadership in Science, Standards, and Literacy, and I feel that we’ve built some fantastic new leaders. So, to all of you on the list below, I say “Thank You” and I look forward to working with you in new capacities in the years to come.
NSTA members who are interested in volunteering for a position on one our committees, advisory boards, or review panels can find more information on our Committees page online.

—Bill Badders, NSTA President, 2013–-2014
