Education Services central to SDA's mission

The Education Services Committee (ESC) is at the heart of SDA’s mission. Utilizing SDA National’s website, EDC provides members educational resources via the professional education pages, e-wire blogs, and interest area forums. ESC periodically audits existing offerings to insure they are current and relevant. The committee also assists identifying subject matter experts for SDA educational webinars, EDSymposium, and EDConnect. ESC members meet monthly for working sessions, as well as working individually to accomplish these important tasks. 

SDA National President Elect Penny Nelson chairs this year’s ESC committee. Joining Penny on the team are Danika Larson, CDFA; Drucilla Brookshire, CDFA; Corrie Foster; Lynda Meyer, CDFA; Amy Nanni, CDFA; Nikki Pierce, CDFA, LEED APBD+C; Denise Skelton; Marsha Witherspoon, CDFA.
