WHAT DOES AN IAASE BOARD MEMBER DO?
Welcome to a small segment where we will highlight and share about our committees and board members.
Federal Committee Co-Chairs: Dr. Sarah Epplin and Megan Clarke
A main focus of this committee is the participation in the Special Education Legislative Summit process. Other responsibilities (as noted on the website) include:
Identify, research and report to the Executive Board and on national and federal issues, law and pending legislation that are current in importance to the education of students and implementation by IAASE membership.
Monitor activities of the Department of Education and other federal or national departments, agencies, or organizations that have a role in the development of legislation, regulation, and policy statements which directly or indirectly impact programs and services for individuals with disabilities.
Develop documents, position papers and testimony for public hearings or federal proceedings whereby the interests and the position of IAASE can be made known.
Prepare information and materials which can be disseminated to the membership via varied methods including, the IAASE newsletter, website, and Executive Board documents.
