“Public education is the cornerstone of our society. As leaders, we have the obligation and privilege to provide dynamic opportunities, pathways and supports that all children are entitled to experience,” said Law. “My AASA leadership experience has shown me the power of working with leaders across the nation. As AASA president-elect, I will foster continued collaboration and learning. Together, we’ll find new ways to partner and embrace innovative efforts in program development, experiential learning, hiring and retention and community engagement.”
