Linsae’s Letter A retrospecitve look as TSPRA’s ED
A Farewell Message from Executive Director Linsae Snider
The end of each school year is always a time for celebration – and then an opportunity to take a deep breath and reflect on how we made it through another year – and to cherish those no-work Fridays!
As I wind down the completion of my tenure as your executive director, the same sentiments are darting through my brain.
On June 30th, I will celebrate 43 years of proudly serving Texas public education; the best of those years has been the 12 spent at TSPRA. Every single year, there has been an executive committee with a bigger vision than the year before, and every single year, I have been entrusted with the enormous opportunity to manage the work and the audacious challenge of moving TSPRA a notch closer to greatness. Thank you for the best job ever!
Helping people and getting things done has always been a personal motto. In so many ways, it feels like I am abandoning friends and carelessly disregarding the work. A trusted friend told me that you will know when it is time. I believe it is time for the next person to move TSPRA to elevated heights. I have done my work and the relationships built doing it are the pinnacle of my time with you.
I remain in awe of how you honored me at TSPRA’s 60th conference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the accolades and gifts. Please know how much each of you means to me. I appreciate your friendship, trust, professionalism and support. It has been such a fun ride!
And like the no-work Fridays - for the first time since 18 years of age, I will be embarking on EVERY day as a no-work day! My wish is that each of you reaches this acclaimed milestone in your career.
