MAPSA, Michigan’s charter school association, represents a statewide movement of charter school stakeholders. For 23 years, we have harnessed the power of our charter community through direct and digital grassroots engagement, identifying their shared challenges and developing resources that support their work. We facilitate public support for the movement by utilizing our effective legislative and media avenues to build positive government relations and give the charter community a voice on issues that impact our students and educators.
We are incredibly proud of the diversity reflected in our movement - from educators, to students and families. That diversity is something we strive to elevate in all our efforts - from advocacy, to storytelling, to supporting educators who service varying communities of color across the state. Our goal as an organization is simply to advance equity - and equity should not depend on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or any other factor of identity.
MAPSA's strategic leader, government affairs & policy development veteran, business specialist & proud father and husband.
