Meramec Valley R-III Board of Education Vice President Dianna Meyer has earned the Master Board Member Certification through the Missouri School Boards’ Association (MSBA), the highest level of certification offered through the organization’s board training program.
Ongoing professional development is an important part of effective school board leadership. MSBA’s certification program helps board members strengthen their knowledge of school governance, educational leadership, and community engagement so they can better serve students, families, staff, and community members.
The Master Board Member Certification represents the level of professional development beyond MSBA’s Advanced Certification. To earn the distinction, board members must complete a significant number of training hours and activities focused on leadership and governance.
Requirements include:
