Earlier this year, I pointed out how important it was for TCEA to change direction. I’m hoping that their choice of Lori Gracey symbolizes that commitment! Like other TCEA members, I’m looking forward to the changes Lori will bring about at the direction of the TCEA Board and offer my assistance as a TCEA member and volunteer.
