NAESP About State Affiliates State Reps

NAESP State Representatives

NAESP state reps serve as liaisons between NAESP and their state associations. In addition to coordinating NAESP membership campaigns within their respective states, the NAESP state reps deliver regular NAESP updates to the state associations’ executive directors, board of directors, and key staff.

For questions or more information about becoming an NAESP state representative, contact Jackie McGrail. For more information about your state’s representative, see below.
