Application Information for SAI Vice President Nomination

Please submit your name via email to Lisa Remy by Dec. 1 if you are interested in pursuing the SAI vice president nomination.

Your answers to the questions below, a resume and a letter from your immediate supervisor granting permission to serve are due at the SAI office by Dec. 31.

Any active SAI member who is an elementary principal (generally defined as having primary supervisory responsibilities for any combination of grades PK-8) and wishes to run for SAI vice president for 2023-24 may apply.

The position of vice president rotates annually among elementary, general and secondary administrators. The elected vice president begins a four-year commitment as a member of the SAI Executive Committee (see job descriptions below) and moves through the chairs. The Executive Committee typically meets monthly. (See this year's meeting dates.)

The elementary principals on the Representative Council will choose two nominees from the application forms submitted. The two nominees will then be placed on the ballot to be voted on by SAI members in April. The vice president will be elected by a majority vote of active SAI members.

Please answer the following questions:

1. If you were elected vice president, what would be your goals for SAI?
2. What do you see as the three most pressing educational leadership issues facing Iowa?
3. What's the most important leadership lesson you've learned as an administrator?

Enclose a copy of your resume with your responses to the above questions and a letter from your board president granting permission to serve.

Send all requested information to Lisa Remy at SAI by mail, 12199 Stratford Drive, Clive, IA 50325 or via email by Dec. 31, 2022.
