You've been elected to the school board. The campaign is behind you. Now, it's time to raise your right hand in January and become part of a group of leaders who govern a school district. As a new school board member, you have much to learn about the roles and responsibilities of a board member. OSBA's Cheryl Ryan, director of board and management services, and Steve Horton, senior board and management services consultant, join the podcast to discuss how first-time board members can prepare. Thank you for taking the bold step of serving your community!
