President’s Perspective

Thanks

Brian Kirkendoll, AAEA Board President

As my term as President of the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators (AAEA) comes to an end, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the members of AAEA for giving me the opportunity to serve you. It has been an incredible honor to work with such a dedicated and passionate group of administrators. The support and collaboration I have received from many of you have been truly amazing.

I would also like to extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to Dr. Karla Neathery who will be assuming the role of AAEA President in July. I have no doubt that she will excel in this position and continue to foster the growth and success of our organization. Dr. Neathery's wealth of knowledge, experience, and dedication to education make her the perfect person to work alongside Dr. Hernandez and the AAEA staff.

Throughout this year, I have had the privilege of networking with school administrators from across Arkansas. The connections I have made and the insights I have gained through these interactions have been invaluable. The collective wisdom and expertise within our association are truly remarkable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from so many leaders.

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the trust and support you have placed in me during my time as AAEA President. Thank you once again for allowing me to be a part of this incredible journey.
