Laurie Lausi, President NJACDA

 

Our board recently lost a long time friend and colleague, Brent Miller. When it came to his contributions to ACDA, Brent epitomized the word “service”. He served two terms as president of NJ-ACDA (1991-1993 and 1997-1999), and also served as the Eastern Division President from 2006-2008. He was passionate about the Elementary/Junior High festival hosted by NJ-ACDA and NJMEA, serving as coordinator for many years. He could also give you a million reasons why you should attend the conferences and was a walking information brochure on each of them. I can’t remember a conference where I did not see Brent. You could count on seeing him at NJMEA sitting at the NJACDA table in the exhibits giving out those great MARK YOUR SCORE pencils!
