Message From EWA's Director 
I am excited to announce the election of a new slate of officers and
the addition of three new members to the EWA board of directors. The new
board members are Felice Nudelman of The New York Times Company,
Jonathan Schorr of the NewSchools Venture Fund, and Scott Widmeyer of
Widmeyer Communications.
Additionally, Stephanie Banchero, national education reporter for The
Wall Street Journal, leads a new slate of EWA officers who have begun
one-year terms on the 13-member board of EWA. The other new officers are
Scott Elliott, education reform reporter for The Indianapolis Star, as
vice president/journalists; Kent Fischer, vice president of GMMB, as
vice president/advocates; Kathryn Baron, reporter/blogger at Thoughts on
Public Education, as board secretary; and Dale Mezzacappa, contributing
editor at the Philadelphia Public School Notebook, as immediate past
president.
EWA is grateful to three departing members who rendered exemplary
service to EWA: former president Richard Whitmire, author and
freelancer, and former vice presidents Rodney Ferguson of the Brunswick
Group and Marie Groark of Get Schooled. EWA officers serve one-year
terms and members’ terms are for two years. Read the full press release
