NESA Professional Development Advisory Committee (PDAC)

PDAC in Beirut with NESA's Ex.Director, David Chojnacki (back row right)

The Professional Development Advisory Committee (“PDAC”) works with the NESA Center Staff in organizing our conferences and institutes. Made up of curriculum specialists from around the region, the PDAC meets three times a year to identify speakers, suggest topics and strands and to provide input from the field as to what’s needed by our membership in the way of professional learning. A great group—collaborative, productive and pro-active—and a wonderful resource.
