NADE
BOARD MEMBERS 2007-2009
Hilda Barrow
NADE President |
 |
|
NADE members have chosen Dr. Rosemary Karr as
President-Elect and Jeanine Lewis as Treasurer for the
2007-2009 NADE Board.
Rosemary is a professor of Developmental Mathematics at
Collin College in Plano, Texas. She has served in many
capacities in professional organizations including
President of TADE, Treasurer of the 2003 NADE
Conference, and Treasurer of CRLA/CASP Conference 2006. Her goals for NADE are to promote legislative
awareness of the goals of Developmental Education, to
continue partnerships with other educational
organizations, and to continue NADE’s efforts with
membership, participation, and professional development.
Jeanine is a professor of Developmental Mathematics at
Aims Community College in Greeley, Colorado. She has
served as President, President-Elect, and Treasurer of
CoADE and was a part of the NADE Conference Committee in
1997. Her goals for NADE are to maintain NADE’s strong
fiscal position and to seek ways to strengthen the
association’s financial base. She wants to continue the
communication between chapter and national treasurers
and to serve as a resource for chapter treasurers.
The current NADE Board congratulates these two
outstanding women for their achievements and appreciates
their willingness to accept the responsibility of
serving our members. We hope you will join us by
supporting them as they assume these demanding
leadership roles. |

A YEAR TO REMEMBER AND TO
TREASURE
Hilda Barrow
NADE President |
|
|
This is my final newsletter article as NADE President
and a difficult one to write, so I hope you will forgive
me if I ramble. Sherry has been patient with me this
time as I searched for the right words and the tone that
I wanted. My experience as NADE President began with
shock and awe, continued with anxiety and awe, moved on
to determination, some confidence, and, yes, awe, until
finally I have come to some satisfaction with my role
this year. I am still in awe, not so much the “fearful”
connotation of the word as with the amazement and
respect for this organization and its members.
I have said, so many times that I’m sure it has become
boring, that our work as professionals in Developmental
Education, Learning Assistance, and experts in teaching
and learning strategies is the most important work in
Higher Education. No one else understands students the
way that we do, nor does anyone else know how to move
them through personal and academic barriers. As I have
traveled this year and met colleagues throughout this
country and internationally, I am more convinced than
ever that the expertise we offer is the saving grace for
underprepared and non-traditional students. This
expertise is not limited to the size of the school or
the program or to institutional support. All of
us—two-year, four-year, public, and private—have a
spirit and dedication to those students who need the
extra pat on the back or kick in the behind. We are
innovative, creative, and professional.
The experiences I have had this year would not have been
available to me without this office as NADE President,
and I will be forever grateful to the membership for
their trust and confidence in me. I have been proud to
represent NADE at other professional conferences:
NYCLSA, NCLCA, CRLA, LADE, and FACE (our United Kingdom
counterpart). This year, the Board has worked
diligently on many projects such as updating the
Handbook, working with colleagues in Hawaii to establish
a new chapter, PacADE, which will be chartered at the
conference, and assuring that future conferences will be
of the quality that our members expect. As a result of
the Blue Ribbon Commission Report, we have begun a task
force to investigate the possibility of a new
professional organization of NADE and CRLA members.
My fellow officers, Gerry McBroom, Mickey Hay, Susan
Ertel, and Paul Hrabovsky, have been amazing in their
support of me personally and in their commitment to our
organization. I am positive that Gerry, Mickey, Susan,
and the new members, Rosemary Karr and Jeanine Lewis,
will continue the projects we have begun and will work
to make NADE even stronger. I am also grateful for the
experience of former presidents Pat Newell and Dessie
Williams and former vice president Sonja Strahm as I
have called on them many times this year for advice.
I could not have accepted this role nor given it the
time it deserved without the support, love, and
understanding of my colleagues at Pitt Community
College. They exemplify the qualities that every
developmental educator should possess and have been
extremely patient with me and have picked up several of
my responsibilities so that I could attend to NADE
business. Each of them could be a NADE officer, and I
know we will see them in many leadership roles.
Finally, NADE members, I hope that you will continue
your commitment to our organization through your
membership, recruitment of other members, and becoming
involved in leadership of your chapters and serving on
committees and SPIN groups. You are our greatest
resource; the Board merely serves your needs and
interests.
Thank you for allowing me to enjoy the most rewarding
professional experience of my life. |

PIECING IT TOGETHER
Dessie S. Williams
NADE 2007 Conference Co-Chair |
 |
|
“P – I – E – C – I – N – G It Together”…there
you have the theme of the NADE 2007 Conference to be
held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention
Center, Nashville, Tennessee, March 21-24, 2007. And
one might ask how NADE came to select such a different
kind of theme for this year’s conference—different from
the usual verbiage of methods, learning styles,
pedagogy, theories, and so on.
Actually, as a bit of history,
several NADE Boards ago a moratorium was declared among
NADE and its reciprocal organizations. It was agreed
that each association would leave open the venues and
dates for their 2007 conferences—with the intent of
having one major conference. These plans did not come
to fruition, thus leaving NADE with two years out to
prepare for this year’s event. With the difficulty of
finding a NADE chapter to host the conference within
this short timeframe remaining, the Board, under the
Presidency of Pat Newell, agreed to “Piece It Together,”
organizing an annual meeting hosted by current and past
Boards and chapters across the country.
It has been a great experience,
working/collaborating with chapter leaders and bringing
in the combined expertise and wisdom of past NADE
officers. This Conference promises to be one of the
greatest ever…pieced together, yes…but masterfully tuned
and ordered by some of NADE’s finest. Please join our
NADE Board and 2007 Conference Team in Nashville for an
exchange of professional development, networking, and
just plain fun!
