After a month-long voting period, WSSDA members have elected a new vice president and president-elect. 

Brenda Rogers, a school director for the Bethel School District will fill the role of president-elect on WSSDA’s board. “I’m grateful for everyone’s trust in making me president-elect,” said Rogers. “Of course, it’s not about me, it’s about our leadership, committee members and staff, working together and working hard to maintain and grow a vibrant, effective organization that supports every school director in their quest to govern at the highest level.”  

Rogers already serves on the WSSDA board as the representative for Director Area 3. That spot will be filled by a vote of the Director Area 3 caucus at WSSDA’s Annual Conference in November. 

Director Area 7’s caucus will also choose a new representative because Alex Ybarra of the Quincy School District will become vice president. “I’m humbled to be elected,” said Ybarra. “I’ll do my best to apply all that I’ve learned from fellow directors to being an effective vice president.” 

In addition to the WSSDA board, there are several open positions on WSSDA committees that will be filled by voting at Annual Conference. Here is a full listing: 

Board of Director Representatives: Four officers and 12 director area representatives are elected to conduct the general governance of the association. Meetings are typically
