President's Welcome

Jill Cyr-
President
2023-2025

I am honored to serve the members of the Rhode Island Art Education Association as your president. It is my role to preserve, promote, and protect the interests of our association through supporting the Leadership Council and the work they do for all members.

 

It is my goal to:

  • Reach out to members around the state and learn what your needs are and how we as a leadership assembly can meet those needs.

  • Encourage the growth of art leaders throughout our organization from membership through the Executive Board because we need strong art leaders for the future of art education.

  • Support positive advocacy for art education through involvement in RIAEA, RISCA, RIDE, and the ALN.

  • Build a diverse and inclusive community of visual art educators by promoting professional growth and leadership.

 

Thank you for electing me and for supporting me through my leadership journey.

Jill Cyr
