On behalf of the staff of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), its leadership, and members, I would like to welcome and thank the following members of our Standing Committees, Advisory Boards, and Panels whose terms of appointment began on June 1, 2014.
This year the NSTA membership will be broadening our definition of scientific literacy—Breaking Down Walls—as we strengthen our partnerships with educators at every level and in every setting. To do this, we depend on the talents and generous service of volunteers from across the nation and the world. Your presidential chain (which includes me, the Retiring President Bill Badders, and President-Elect Carolyn Hayes), Board and Council, are very grateful for the willingness of these members to join our team.
NSTA members who are interested in volunteering for a position on one our committees, advisory boards, or review panels can find more information online.

—Juliana Texley, NSTA President, 2014–2015
