I believe that a superintendent is as strong as the network that they are able to develop. AASA has been critical to my development and maturation as a superintendent. The training, publications, programs and advocacy that AASA provides have simply been invaluable to me. AASA membership would be at the top of a prioritized list of investments for an effective, solution-oriented superintendent to make.
