Education Industry Leader Rita Ferrandino at Democratic Convention in Denver
Rita Ferrandino, Arc Capital Development partner and Chair of the Sarasota County, FL, democratic party is an official delegate to the convention as well as Executive Director of the Elementary Science Coalition.
A long-time education advocate, Rita has made many trips to Washington, D.C. to lobby for increased attention and funding for elementary science education in U.S. public schools. Rita and her business partner, Kevin Custer, are in Denver this week to “capture key elements of the Democratic Education Platform and responses/reactions from delegates, elected officials, education industry leaders and local voters.”
Rita will be posting convention news, interviews, updates in text and video on her DNC Education 2008 - Education Policy News from the Democratic National Convention blog throughout the week.
With a potential Democratic administration on the horizon, educators and education reformers will be watching how the Democrats’ educational policy agenda further develops during the course of the convention.
Kudos to Rita and her team. She will be featured tomorrow (August 26th) in a video post at the New York Times. Look for her there after you check out her blog.
