NAEA Western Region Forum Comes to Columbus


Ohio hosted the Western Region of NAEA forum this summer in Columbus. Randy Robart, our 1st VP, presented. Elayne Lowe, our 2nd VP, and Sherrie Dennis, retired chair and past president , attended, so East Central was well represented! Sherrie served as Registrar for the event with almost 80 attendees from all over the US. CCAD hosted the lodging and the Columbus Art Museum provided meeting spaces. Advocacy, building membership and
local and national concerns for Art Education were addressed. Deb Reeves, the NAEA executive director, provided great leadership as well as Kathy Hillard, our WR VP, Dennis Ilhusen, NAEA’s president elect, as well as Suzanne Mitolo, past President, and
Sarah Danner, as did so many others. It was a dynamic event that recharged everyone and people went back to their respective states ready to continue the advocacy for art education.
