boxWe’re Moving!

We are excited to announce on June 1st we will be moving to our new office space in Westerville.  The move allows us to expand our office work space, add a computer lab and create a dedicated interactive video conference room.  The additional space gives us greater flexibility and the opportunity to offer a wider variety of classes to you, our members.  In addition to the increased physical space, we are thrilled to share space with the National Middle School Association (NMSA).  With over 30,000 members representing principals, teachers, central office personnel, professors, college students, parents, community leaders, and educational consultants across the United States, Canada, and 46 other countries, we believe the NMSA gives us a powerful partner bringing 21st Century education opportunities to our members and beyond.  We look forward to the exciting possibilities our new space offers.  

Our new address and contact information beginning June 1st is:

4151 Executive Parkway
Suite 300
Westerville, OH  43081
