MRA Immediate Past President Valerie Harlow Shinas, member for 6 years;
Associate Dean, Lesley University

“When I returned to Massachusetts several years ago, I was eager to develop a professional network of literacy educators. A colleague introduced me to MRA and I have been an active member ever since. Membership in MRA and several local councils provides me with many opportunities to engage in important conversations with colleagues across the state and has helped me develop strong relationships with an amazing group of literacy professionals.”
