"I am a strong advocate for children. The many offerings that BOCES provides for the component districts include programs to educate children with special needs as well as career and technical training. These learning opportunities are so essential to student achievement which will lead to positive preparation for our global society. As part of the Cooperative Board, I look forward to sharing my vast board experience in collaborating and working to match financial resources to the ever-increasing needs and challenges of the BOCES’ component districts."
