    Nancy,
    I agree with your defense of NAEA. Since becoming a board member, I am
    amazed at the amount of work and the national level involvement of the NAEA
    board. I have seen the professionalism of art education grow in leaps and
    bounds in the past twenty years and I feel that it is a result of NAEA and
    the power of its members.
    The NAEA is respected by other professional organizations and has been
    praised for proactive stance to educational policy and reform.
    In NAEA the power is it's individual members working in the trenches.

    << I must respectfully disagree with the negative comments about NAEA and,
    instead, afirm that the organization does work for the benefit of teachers
    and students. As a long-term NAEA member, I know the efforts that have been
    and continue to be made. (The development of national standards for the arts
    resulted from NAEA's collaboration with other national arts organizations is
    just one example.)

    I do believe that the success of an organization is a result of the
    involvement of its members. I know firsthand that almost every position held
    in NAEA is voluntary, not paid. I also know that each of you can contribute
    to NAEA's efforts. If you have suggestions about a list serv at NAEA, e-mail
    your ideas to them. We were fortunate to have the support of the Getty for so
    long (and I certainly want it to continue) but let's give NAEA a chance, too.

    Regards,

    Nancy Walkup >>
