Mona, who has greatly served as our RCPA President for the past two years as well as an officer of our union for the past 12 years, has chosen to step down. Mona's leadership and service to our association has brought new growth and advancement to our group as a whole. Although she will be missed as our President, Mona will continue to take the lead in new directions as she continues her involvement as part of the ESSA Team which has been formed to implement RCPA's advancement in the new Every Student Succeeds Act that has replaced No Child Left Behind. Many thanks to Mona Laughlin for her dedicated service.
