REL Appalachia Announces the Addition of Two New Members to Its Governing Board
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(ARLINGTON, VA) - Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Appalachia strengthens its
Governing Board [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001_ELsQOTHVp2hZJkBGV4AZE3piNRbRlm7n9P0Dv5Gy3j3HGllGc2-Aeqoy6sndbKrNUHLhnOEAoBQplQW2iMUSdyks3ossjK_F1SrkiI6NEGay2iXNpiU7KFQI2VOlSpnAPCZfZxrd6v3J265gmz2R8LhY5BIp3fOr4H-5moEYp3o1EOQKNI7QBdmWHU4to1M3kbWrZt2RilI1MwneEI0y-NzFMpDj-Aq&c=RvgV30BMBVT0LP_lqe-sgOP2dzUEcg_v02msjLX4nmxySc9s-CnIaQ==&ch=nnjoaeELR3YdXxscfuoLU62U-otXuyLFfu18NnQSf8lG_8s5cvcKfA==]
with the addition of two new members, both representing West Virginia: Gayle Conelly
Manchin and Donna Hoylman Peduto. Both are associated with the West Virginia Board
of Education (WVBE), and so bring an in-depth knowledge of the issues facing that
state's education system. REL Appalachia's service region comprises Kentucky, Tennessee,
Virginia, and West Virginia.
"REL Appalachia is thrilled to welcome these two outstanding education leaders to
the REL Governing Board," said REL Director Patty Kannapel. "We look forward to 
engaging them in our work in the coming years."
Gayle Manchin was appointed a member of the WVBE in 2007, and she served as board
president from 2013 to 2015. Manchin has worked to further public education at both
the state and national levels for many years, including serving as president of 
the National Association of State Boards of Education, directing AmeriCorps Promise
Fellows in West Virginia, and implementing the statewide initiative WV Partnerships
to Assure Student Success (WVPASS) in collaboration with West Virginia's Secretary
of Education and the Arts. In 2010, former U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan
appointed her to the board of the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education
(FIPSE).
Donna Peduto is director of operations for the WVBE. In this role, she conducts 
research and analyzes policies, issues, and other information in order to inform
 the WVBE's decisions. She is also a key liaison to the WVBE's members, the West
 Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) leadership, West Virginia's county superintendents
and Regional Educational Service Agencies, and other leaders and organizations around
the state. Previously, as senior innovation lab coordinator for West Virginia at
 the Stupski Foundation, Peduto coordinated with the Council of Chief State School
Officers to establish a national network to foster effective practice in K-12 schools.
Additionally, she has served the Office of Organizational Effectiveness at the WVDE
as assistant director, and she was director of K-12 initiatives at the EdVenture
 Group, where she supported the development and execution of consulting projects
 related to K-12 training, curriculum, and research.
REL Appalachia is one of 10 federal Regional Educational Laboratories (RELs). It
 partners with regionally-based research alliances made up of schools, districts,
and state departments of education to conduct applied research on K-12 education.
It disseminates the results to educators in Appalachia and nationally, and helps
 them put this new knowledge to work for students through research-based professional
development events and services.
