School District of Horicon School Board Member Honored for Commitment to Professional Development

School District of Horicon school board member David Westimayer has been recognized by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) for his commitment to professional development.
Westimayer has earned Level 5 recognition, the highest available, by attending Wisconsin Association of School Boards training opportunities focused on improving student achievement and public education.
The WASB’s Member Recognition Program tracks the professional development of board members, who may be awarded one of five achievement levels based on a point system. Members receive points by attending the State Education Convention, participating in workshops and engaging in other professional development activities.
Level 5 recognition is limited to the most active school board members in the state, a mark reached this year by only eight of the 2,800-plus school board members statewide. Board members with Level 5 recognition have gone far beyond the requirements of membership to support the students in their community.
WASB Executive Director Dan Rossmiller recognizes Mr. Westimayer’s accomplishments.
“Board members begin their service with a desire to help children in their community reach their potential,” he said. “Mr. Westimayer has backed up that aspiration with hard work and dedication to learn how to be the best school board member they can be. They’re an example of the best of school board service in Wisconsin.”
The Wisconsin Association of School Boards is a nonprofit association that provides information and services to Wisconsin school boards in the areas of school law and policymaking, bargaining, legislation and leadership development.
