Umatilla School District Superintendent Heidi Sipe was elected to a three-year term on the executive committee of AASA, the School Superintendents Association.
The 22-member committee, elected by AASA’s governing board, represents each region of the country. The committee meets quarterly and conducts the ongoing business of the organization. Sipe, who was named Oregon Superintendent of the Year in 2016, has been a member of AASA for almost 10 years and a member of AASA’s governing board since 2017. She has also been an executive board member of the Oregon School Activities Association since 2017, and served as president in 2020.
“I see my role as an Executive Committee member to listen carefully and understand the Region’s needs so I can ensure the AASA as a whole stands ready to support those needs- through advocacy, training opportunities and support for colleagues,” said Sipe. “I believe and live by the motto, ‘You can’t compete with me, I want you to win, too.’ ”
New executive committee members will serve a three-year term which starts July 1.
