Being a member of NAESP has changed my life on a personal and professional level, and I am forever grateful for my colleagues for encouraging me to join!  As a new administrator, I was strongly encouraged by my mentoring principal to join our local, state, and national associations.   As a result, I was able to experience a professional network unlike any other.  Having the opportunity to meet and connect with colleagues from across my state and the nation during our state and national conferences has been an invaluable asset to me as an administrator and one I would encourage others to pursue – you won’t be disappointed!
