I belong to ܲAVƵbecause of the high-quality professional development that is provided, the resources available just clicks away, and the information available to members regarding national legislation, policy, and the educational landscape. To date, none of the organizations I belong to have fulfilled this need as well as AASA.”Kimberly Rizzo Saunders![]()
