Georgia Charter Schools Association (GCSA) is pleased to announce that Hannah Heck has been named Chair of GCSA’s Board of Directors. Heck’s knowledge about charter schools and expertise in law, state government, and education are the perfect combination for her new role in overseeing the only nonprofit membership organization that advocates for and supports Georgia’s public charter schools. Heck succeeds Frank Morris as Board Chair.
“I’m grateful for the outstanding service of Frank Morris as Board Chair, says Tony Roberts.” I believe Hannah Heck’s wealth of knowledge and experience in the education policy and governance areas will be extremely valuable to our work. I am confident she will perform the duties of Chair with equal passion and commitment to GCSA as we work to elevate public schools so students can have a brighter future.”
