The Wider Circle is an extension of NESA’s Professional Development Advisory Committee (PDAC). Each member serves the NESA Center Staff and the PDAC by acting as the chief point of contact between the PDAC and their member school in matters pertaining to professional development.

The Wider Circle consists of one representative from each NESA full Member School who is appointed annually by that school’s chief administrator to be the primary liaison between the school, and the NESA Center Staff and PDAC. The Wider Circle helps to promote NESA's professional learning program and projects at their schools and advises the NESA Center on their schools' needs.

The group works in a spirit of collegiality, active collaboration and mutual respect.
