I have been involved in TYCA-West for the past 16+ years and have had the opportunity to serve as Treasurer and Chair. From 2044-2011 I served as TYCA-West Representative to National TYCA. As National Rep, I attend NCTE and CCCC and represented TYCA-West at the National Executive Committee all day Saturday meeting. We voted on important issues affecting writing teachers across the country and implemented new strategies and white papers addressing multiple issues.
I enjoyed my term as TYCA-West National Rep and plan to continue to serve TYCA-West for several more years. Oct 2012 I was the local arrangements chair for the conference in Salt Lake City. Our chair was unable to attend and Stephanie Maenhardt and I fulfilled her role at the conference. Click here for the 2012 conference program.
