Regional representatives play a crucial role in ensuring that the interests, concerns, and perspectives of all KETS regions are accurately represented and addressed within the decision-making processes of KAST. These representatives serve as a direct link between the board and the region leaders they represent. Additionally, regional representatives help promote communication, collaboration, and engagement among stakeholders, contributing to the overall success and relevance of KAST on a broader scale.
KAST By-Laws Article 12.9: The election of the regional representatives shall be as follows: One regional representative shall be elected from each geographic region as designated originally by the Kentucky Department of Education. The regional representatives shall be elected by a vote of that specific region’s district-level technology leaders (CIO/DTC/TRS). Each district in the region will be allowed one vote with the vote to be sent from the district’s director of technology (CIO/DTC) or designee's state sponsored email account.
