About
MSAA Overview
Under the direction of MSSAA leadership team chaired by Past President Dana Brown and MESPA President Kirk Downing, negotiations and dialogue ensued with both Association’s leadership committees as to the merit and benefits of a Unified State Association. This initiative resulted in favorable votes from the membership of both Associations and effective August 1, 2017 the birth of the Massachusetts School Administrators’ Association (MSAA) was ratified.
In the period since then, new members have been encouraged to join MSAA standing committees and enabled to take on leadership roles including membership on the Board of Directors.
Massachusetts, widely recognized as a national leader in public education, now faces the future with a unified front of all professionals in administrative positions in PreK-12 schools. Since these are the positions that can most easily shape policy and drive progress, the educational future for MSAA and this Commonwealth is very bright.
