A Message From the President
Welcome to our new members and thank you to our current members
for your continued support and participation in the Michigan
Association of State and Federal Program Specialists (MAS/FPS).
Our association is the professional organization serving Michigan
educators who administer state and federal programs.
MAS/FPS is governed by an elected Board of Directors and an
Executive Committee comprised of elected representatives from
each of the 15 U.S. Congressional Districts in Michigan. There
are also ex-officio members from the Michigan Department of
Education, an invaluable resource to and partner with our
organization.
The MAS/FPS Executive Board hosts monthly business meetings
where we work to improve communication among our members,
develop professional learning opportunities related to education
and compliance, and stay informed on current legislation as
well as work with our state and federal legislators on various
issues that may impact our practice.
Please join us throughout the year as we continue to provide
opportunities for professional growth at our Fall, Winter
and Upper Peninsula Institutes as well as our various Principal
and Director Boot Camps. These opportunities exemplify our
commitment to keeping you informed of current issues related
to the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind.
The following MAS/FPS Mission Statement was crafted in 1969
and still holds true today.
"The organization was founded to organize, unify and
nourish an alliance of individuals and organizations committed
to Compensatory Education Programs. The organization was established
to:
- " Facilitate communication among members in discussing,
proposing and taking action on matters of common interest
and concern.
- " Conduct programs to enhance the professional competence
and status of members.
- " Participate in the development and enactment of
state and federal legislation and regulations affecting
education."
If you have any questions or concerns about our organization
or our work, please feel free to contact us at www.masfps.org
or contact our Executive Secretary, Sara Shriver, at (989)
620-5899 or masfps@gmail.com.
Thank you once again for your participation as a member of
MAS/FPS, and I look forward to seeing you throughout the year
at our Institutes and Boot Camps.
Sincerely,
Judith Handley, President
