New IASA Board Of Directors for FY2026 FY2026

A new fiscal year ushers in changes to the IASA Board of Directors — the primary decision-making body of IASA consisting of members of the 21 IASA regions and an at-large representative. IASA is also divided into three Super Regions: Northcentral, Northeastern and Southern. Each consists of seven IASA regions from which the board rotationally elects the IASA president. On July 1, the IASA Board of Directors welcomed three new faces, as well as some changes to the five officer positions. Here are the FY 2026 officers: • President: Dr. Scott Doerr, Nokomis CUSD #22, Southern Super Region • President-Elect: Dr. Jay Morrow, United Twp HSD #30, Northcentral Super Region • Past President: Dr. Anthony Scarsella, Palos CCSD #118, Northeastern Super Region • Treasurer: Barb Thompson, Fisher CUSD #1, Illini Region • Secretary: Dr. Steven Wrobleski, La Salle-Peru Twp HSD #120, Starved Rock

The three IASA regions that will have new representatives on the board are: • Blackhawk: Dr. Terri VandeWiele, Silvis SD #34 (term expires June 30, 2026) • Egyptian: Quent Hamilton, Zeigler-Royalton CUSD #188 (term expires June 30, 2028) • Shawnee: Jami Hodge, Williamson Cty. Sp. Ed. Coop. #3 (term expires June 30, 2027) Lastly, we want to say thank you and goodbye to the following school leaders for their service on the IASA Board of Directors. Their vision and passion helped move IASA forward. • Past President: Dr. Roger Alvey (board member since 2016) • Egyptian: Dr. Richard Towers (board member since 2022) • Shawnee: Dr. Lori James-Gross (board member since 2021)
