President’s REFLECTION Oh, what a year it has been. As the new year begins, I will continue to serve FAEA as the Past President. Leading the FAEA Board of Directors has provided me with great opportunities to build stronger connections with members of our vibrant community. As I sit to write this final article, I reflect on the amazing work the out-going committees have accomplished during the pandemic and beyond. Some of the highlights include:
• Weekly virtual meetings for the supervisors by the Supervision and Administration Division
• “Self-Care Sundays” by the Advocacy Committee
• Implementation of a Creative Leadership Model
• “Recipe of the Month” by the Editorial Committee
• Arts Education is Essential unified statement
• Virtual Vendor Hall by the Partners and Sponsors Committee • Tee shirts and Apron sales by the Professional Development Committee • Virtual Museum Experiences by Professional Development Committee • Expansion of the K-12 Student Art Assessment sponsorship by the Exhibition Committee

Dr. Jackie Henson-Dacey President, FAEA
Fresh Paint • Winter 2021-22
• Record number of FAEA Awardees submitted for NAEA Awards by the Awards Committee • Development of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force • Development of an Adaptive Arts Task Force
Now is the time to let your voice be heard and become part of the 2022-2023 Board of Directors through volunteering on a committee or task force. This is a great way to build leadership skills and become part of the collective vision of our association. Our next president, Nancy Puri, will lead with compassion, wisdom, and innovation. Please consider becoming part of the change-makers at FAEA.
