Educator Advisory Board
In order for our programs to continue helping schools to empower students and maximize opportunities, Making It Count assembled a group of experienced advisors from school settings. We sought educators from across the country and asked them to become our most effective way of keeping in touch with the students, parents and school communities we hope to serve. The EAB assists us in adapting and growing to meet the ever-changing needs of students and educators.
In addition to meeting as a group twice a year, the board keeps in contact with Making It Count through telephone and email communications. They provide feedback on selected topics, such as program content and promotional pieces, as well as help develop new ideas that will assist Making It Count in understanding the mindset of today's students, the challenges of today's educators and the needs of today's school systems. Each summer the Advisory Board also assists Making It Count in the selection of the Winning Characteristics Scholarship recipients. Additionally, most Making It Count Student Advisory Council members host and facilitate Making It Count Student Advisory Council members at their schools.
The Educator Advisory Board is comprised of high school educators from across the country who work with students on a daily basis in urban, suburban and rural public and private settings. Our Educator Advisory Board members are:
