“I am proud and humbled to represent education service districts, which were founded on the principle of equity,” Goldman says. “After a historic few years, now more than ever — we must be a powerful, cohesive voice representing Oregon’s most vulnerable students. I look forward to collaborating with my education service district colleagues to find ways we can accelerate academic achievement and connect children to important services, especially those who are most in need.”

A three-year commitment, Goldman will serve as President-Elect (2023-24), President (2024-25) and Past President (2025-26), providing leadership to OAESD’s Superintendent Council, Officer’s Council, Program Cabinet and Legislative Committee.
