“As the association representing leaders in digital learning, SETDA has never played a more critical role than right now, given the explosion of educational technology in the past 15 months. I am thrilled to join my colleagues from across the country in the important work of ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students,” said incoming SETDA Board Chair Doug Casey.

“Our incoming Board of Directors are a dedicated and highly knowledgeable group of state members who, as we enter post-COVID learning landscape and students return to school buildings in the fall, are well-positioned to take the hard lessons learned during the pandemic and use that knowledge and expertise to help expand SETDA’s mission to bring digital equity to all students. I look forward to the opportunity to work with the SETDA Board and with state members, affiliates, private sector partners, and other national organizations to address these critical issues,” noted Julia Fallon, SETDA Executive Director.

The SETDA Board of Directors was elected in alignment with the SETDA Emerging Trends Forum hosted virtually this year in mid-June. As part of this event, SETDA provided the opportunity for state members and affiliates to collaborate and connect with private sector partners.
