A Message from the President…

Dear AAFEPA Family,

Happy New Year!  I pray that you are safe and healthy and ready to tackle 2021.  I have some very exciting news to share with you.  It is time to announce the recipients of the 2021 NAFEPA State Leadership Award.  The purpose of this award is to recognize current NAFEPA members (all AAFEPA members are NAFEPA members) who have assumed significant roles in the support and promotion of activities and goals of the state affiliate organization.

Congratulations to

Dr. Carlos Nelson and Mrs. Cyndi Townley

on receiving this top honor for Alabama!!!

Dr. Nelson currently serves as Deputy Superintendent in the Sheffield City School System.  He has over 20 years of experience in education and has been an active member of the AAFEPA Board of Directors for several years serving as District Representative and Alternate.  Dr. Nelson is the current President of AASCD.

Mrs. Townley currently serves as Program Administrator for the ALSDE Federal Programs Section.  She joined the department in 1998 after spending 17 years in the classroom.  Mrs. Townley became a Program Administrator in 2004 and has specifically supported Title I, Title III, and School Improvement.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I would like to thank you all for your continued support of AAFEPA.  We are actively planning a 2021 November Conference which will be held at The Lodge at Gulf State Park.  We understand that times are uncertain but know that we are committed to supporting you with the most current federal updates. 

Warmest Regards,

Janet
