ADVISORY BOARD & CCG EVALUATORS

The VAE advisory committee, is made up of volunteers whose main purpose is to give advice and feedback to the board of directors.   They will support the VAE Mission to “Promote Educational Excellence” in our local public schools.  The advisory committee will also offer support to  the VAE board members and staff and may serve on a committee or evaluation team if desired.  Advisory committee members will not have a voting role and are not required to attend meetings, but are always invited and encouraged to attend.  The advisory may include, but is not limited to: past board members, educators and or CCCG evaluators, donors and supporters of VAE. 


THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF VAE AND OUR MISSION TO PROMOTE EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE IN OUR LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS! 

Meet the 2024 board members

Liz Fravel, VAE President
