Interested in applying for the NSTA District IX Director position?

A note from current director Brenda Walsh:

This is a 3 year position in which you will represent the three states in our district: Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The main points of this position is to represent the district at NSTA and promote NSTA in your district. The district director acts as the bridge for communication between the teacher and the national organization.

The requirements are:

Yearly:

  • Attend NSTA winter meeting in Washington D.C in mid to late February
  • Attend Summer Congress in July in various locations
  • Attend one NSTA regional conference (optimum being the location that is in or closest to our district)

And at least once during your three year tenure:

  • Attend each of the state conferences

You do have a small budget to help pay for your expenses. You will be paying for travel, lodging, food, registration, … for the all conferences from this budget (state, regional, and national). The meetings (winter and summer congress) do NOT come out of your budget. Your district is reimbursed by NSTA for your substitute teacher expenses.

A few things:

  • Most of your expenses are out of pocket at the beginning and then you will be reimbursed.
  • If you are a classroom teacher, you will miss school. It is very helpful to have a supportive administration and you are OK with being gone from your classroom.
  • It is a very rewarding experience. You will meet, work with, and network with an amazing group of people through the state organizations, NSTA, and the different conferences.

If you have any questions or want more information about my experience please don’t hesitate to contact me.
