On behalf of the staff of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and the many dedicated members of our leadership team, I would like to welcome and thank the following members of our Board, Council, Standing Committees, Advisory Boards, and Panels whose terms of appointment began on June 1, 2013. With the renewed national focus on STEM education and the release of the Next Generation Science Standards, this year will be an exciting time to be a leader in science education. I am delighted to have you all as my colleagues on this journey. The theme of my presidency is “Building and Sustaining Teacher Leadership in Science, Standards, and Literacy” and I know that with the talents and commitment you bring to the table, we will be able to achieve great things. So, to all of you on the list below, I say “Welcome” and I look forward to working with you!
