“I continue to be amazed and encouraged by the work and mission of EdCo. I can attest to the authentic concern for like-minded colleagues who work together to find solutions and who love their job and their students. I enjoy being on the board of EdCo and getting to hear about all the accomplishments of the work. I enjoy watching educators light up when they’re offered support. EdCo underlines the need for compassionate, informed teachers who find energy by connecting to find new ways to care for their students. That mission encourages me.” – Melissa Campbell Goodson
