As most of you know, our two national organizations, the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the Council for Administrators of Special Education (CASE) have had searches underway for the position of Executive Director in their organizations.  The two organizations recently made announcements about these positions.

Please join me in congratulating Phyllis as she assumes this important leadership role within our organization. She will leave her position as the Executive Director of Missouri CASE and assume this new role on March 1, 2020.  As many of you know, Phyllis has been at the heart of CASE's leadership for many years and also comes to us with many years of leadership experience at the local, state and national levels. 


Phyllis was selected as the next leader of CASE through a rigorous and competitive process facilitated by the Executive Committee of CASE.


This new appointment for Phyllis comes as  Dr. Luann Purcell announces her retirement after serving as the Executive Director for CASE for 17 years. While Luann leaves great shoes to fill, we have no doubt Phyllis will carry our organization to new heights into the future.  Her expertise in special education, professional development, non-profit association leadership, and organizations are essential to our future and she brings energy and dedication unmatched in our field.
