Deborah Reeve is amazing. As the current director of our national professional organization, the National Art Education Association, she has grabbed the bull by the horns - moving the organization quickly and professsionally into a new realm of advocacy, service and accountability. Our day at the NAEA Western Leadership Sessions and Meeting flew by quickly - all of the presentations were so GOOD; there was no time spent waiting for anything to end. Deborah, as always, has anticipated needs even to the point of providing a sheet that detailed where her presentation could be downloaded. She inspires - and not in a phony way. Her praise is genuine and acts as a catalyst for action. She is a model of an effective leader: professional and trusting with high expectations and clear goals.
I look at the assembly of art education leadership here, 14 stsates' worth, and see a good deal of age/wisdom and experience. People who can do. Deborah inspires them TO do.
Up her sleeve today: cloth bags printed B.A.G. - Big, Audicious Goal. Her compelling vision, which one could not help but share, to double our national membership.
We're with you, Dr. Reeve. How could we not be?
