Professional Advocacy

Members of this committee will work together to raise awareness of the vital work we do for New England school systems. Help us to educate districts about the value we bring along with communication position roles, responsibilities, and salary ranges. This is an opportunity to help shape the future of our profession. Join us!

Co-ChairsPatti Renaud, Glastonbury Public Schools (CT); Jen Cowart, Cranston Public Schools (RI)


Professional Development and Conference Planning

Help us discuss, plan, and decide the subject matter for our professional development sessions—those held virtually along with the in-person annual spring conference. We will brainstorm before zeroing in on topics and potential presenters, which may include current NESPRA members or outside experts. 

Chairperson:  Julia Mitchell, Pinkerton Academy (NH)


Membership Growth and Networking

Let's channel our ideas on how to continuously grow membership and networking connections of New England school communications professionals.
