ANNOUNCEMENT

The Board of Directors of Inspiring Educators is pleased to announce that Sara Katz has been named the new Executive Director of the organization, effective January 1, 2022. Sara succeeds Belle Linda Halpern, Founder and acting Executive Director, who will assume her role as Board Chair following this transition. Thank you to Belle for serving as acting Executive Director for the past sixteen months, carrying this organization and this work through an unprecedented time in education.

Sara brings a wealth of experience in the education and nonprofit sectors to her work with IE, along with passions for educator wellbeing and educational equity. She quickly became an asset to this organization from the moment she began working with us over two years ago. Her experience in education, both as an educator and a nonprofit school partner, has proven invaluable in enabling IE to engage most effectively with our clients in the field. Sara has already been instrumental in our organization’s pandemic response, strategic planning, and programmatic and business development.

Sara has an unwavering commitment to ensuring that the future of work in education is both sustainable and joyful, and we are thrilled to welcome her into this new leadership role.
