Two questions that changed his trajectory. Two simple questions.

Are you happy? What are you going to do about it?

Yesterday's session with John Meixner, Regional Superintendent of Schools, was informative, conversational, and of course - educational. We learned a lot about how he almost didn't get into the education field yet found a way, and how he has enjoyed success in his career.

John also shared a lot about the Regional Office of Education #26 and what they do to serve school districts in a four-county area. The ROE is the new "home base" for our team days and speaker sessions as we move into the winter months. (Learning about the folks with whom we'll share some space is always a good idea!) ROE #26 also serves as the administrative agent for McDonough County CEO, along with the newly launched Spoon River CEO. We appreciate John and his team for their support of our program!
