Catch the CAB: Nominations for CERRA's Advisory Board

CERRA Advisory Board Call for Nominations: April 15-30, 2013
It’s time to catch the CAB - not the yellow car that drives you around the city, but the CERRA Advisory Board, or CAB - which is driven by a group of teacher leaders that play an integral role in promoting the mission of the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, & Advancement (CERRA).



CAB is led by the State Teacher of the Year, and its members work collaboratively with CERRA staff and the CERRA Board of Directors. The 35-member board includes representatives from CERRA's programs and services and is comprised of educators from CERRA's five regional service areas: Upstate, Savannah River, Midlands, Pee Dee, and Low Country.

CERRA is accepting nominations April 15-30, 2013 for South Carolina teachers to serve on CAB for a three-year term beginning in July 2013.

For this election cycle, there are five seats for Certified Mentors (one from each region) and five seats for Teacher Cadet instructors (one from each region).

If interested in serving on CAB, please complete the nomination form, or you can elect to forward this information to a colleague who you believe would be a valuable asset to the CERRA Advisory Board. The individual seeking an elected seat must complete the nomination form.

Educators who meet the qualifications outlined on the nomination form are eligible to submit their name for inclusion on the ballot.

All nominations must be received no later than Tuesday, April 30th.

The online voting will take place from May 3-17.

The announcement of newly elected CAB members will take place the week of May 20, 2013.

More information about CAB is available online at www.cerra.org/cab.
