Well done on an amazing career. You have been the go-to for answers since my arrival six years ago. You have weathered COVID and this crazy 4 months of changes to the AEA system with grace. You have finished a lifelong career guiding us through some of the most difficult times in education ever. Retirement is well deserved. May your time with grands be amazing and may you find time to fill your bucket!

Thanks for being a fearless leader through times when there were no answers. You are loved and appreciated!

Congratulations on your retirement. Job well done. I will certainly miss you. Thank you for all of your help with my questions. You have been an amazing advocate for CRAEA. What will we do without Wednesdays with Amy?

I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work with you over the past years, even as our roles and responsibilities were very different you have always been very approachable and made me and what I do feel important. You have always been so friendly and made me feel at ease talking with you. Thank you for all you have and continue to do to support staff and our work!

I wish you much JOY and HAPPINESS in the next chapter of your life adventure!

Blessings to you!

Christy Diemer

I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with you over my many years with the AEA; first as my RA and then as the Executive Director of Special Education. You have always been so wise and kind and have helped me a lot over the years! Wishing you the best as you transition to the next chapter in your life’s journey! Enjoy your retirement 🩷

In love and friendship,

Linda Rosenboom

All the best to you,

Sarah Holden

Thank you so much for all you have done for Central Rivers AEA. Your support and encouragement is very much appreciated. I remember sitting next to you at one of our SLP meetings and asking you how long you have worked for the AEA and what was your role. You were so humble and down to earth. I was so embarrassed when I later realized you were the Executive Director of Special Education. I still laugh when I think about it.

I hope your next adventure is fulfilling and enjoyable!

Congratulations on your Retirement!

Stacey Davis
