PSBA's sectional structure, officially approved by the membership of the Delegate Assembly in October 2017, is designed to help PSBA best meet the needs of its membership. The PSBA sectional advisor is elected every two years to serve as a principal representative and sounding board for their section. This position serves as a volunteer voice of the local membership and provides ongoing feedback to PSBA staff related to local issues and areas of concern. PSBA relies on our team of 12 sectional advisors and a network of district-level local board liaisons (see below for details) to help maintain member awareness of PSBA, school board-related updates and advocacy issues.

Sectional Advisors

Local Board Liaison

Each member school entity is entitled to appoint a board member to serve as PSBA local board liaison. The liaison is an essential point of contact between PSBA and the local school board. Through contact with their sectional advisor and PSBA staff, the liaison shares timely and important updates with their fellow school directors around pressing legislative and policy changes, upcoming opportunities for continued learning, and information about their statewide association. PSBA provides an exclusive e-newsletter to all liaisons – Liaison Digest. Liaisons are strongly encouraged to use Liaison Digest to provide a brief update at each school board meeting.
