This is a relatively quiet year as far as changing of the guard is concerned. The President and two Vice presidents all have another year to serve, so only the position of Secretary, which is on a three-year rotation, changed this year. The board welcomed Heidi Campbell Shoaf as the incoming Secretary. Of the four elected to the Board of Directors this year, two - Richard Bradshaw and Patrick Lasswell - are already familiar faces at the board meetings, as both of them had been appointed to fill un-expired terms of board members who had become officers. Newcomers Sara Holmes and Don Stark are both long-time members and will be familiar to those who attend Brown auctions. When Sara's father, Mickey Holmes, was involved with the auction, Sara often tended the registration desk. Don is still to be seen as part of the auction crew at the Harrisburg and Camp Hill events. We welcome them all and look forward to the ways in which the EAIA will benefit from their experience and enthusiasm.
His aim now is simple: to get good schools to take over the bad ones. He hopes that we will have 'schools in particular areas saying please give us under-performing primaries, please give us the secondary down the road which isn't doing so well and we will improve it'. Reform should not be driven from the centre but the periphery. He wants to do himself out of a job.
