It was another excellent election cycle at NAGC, and the results are in. Drum roll, please!
With an overwhelming number of outstanding candidates, it proved the Election Committee had their work cut out for them. With a strong pool of candidates, it was impressive to have brought forth a fantastic ballot of passionate and qualified professionals for the members to vote for.
We know it's not the Presidential Elections. Still, to the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) and its members, it's just as important because our election of Board of Directors and Network Chair-Elects are member leaders who will help the organization and the membership move forward by working together on initiatives to address the pressing issues faced by gifted and talented children, their families, and the field of gifted and talented education.
Having so many qualified submissions, the review process was no easy feat. Jonathan Plucker, Elections Committee Chair, thanks the committee members for their time and diligent effort in developing a strong slate of candidates for the 2023 election.
Please join us in welcoming NAGC's newest Board of Directors and Network Chair-Elects whose term will begin September 1, 2023
