Professional Assistance Team, P.A.T., Members Announced!
The Professional Assistance Team is made up of individuals who have a wealth of experience in operating schools. The members of the P.A.T. use their experience to help their colleagues when they need consultation and/or advice if they run into a difficult situation. Each member has promised to treat every contact with confidentiality. The only case in which information may be shared is in the event that a situation is complex enough that a member may require legal assistance, and will be directed to the MASA Executive Director.
Thanks to the support of the Foundation, here is your 2025-2026 P.A.T. You can find their bios on the website under “Resources” and then scroll down to “Professional Assistance Team.” Contact them anytime you would like assistance.

This cutie is named Paul! He is one of MASA staff member Lori Zimmerman’s grandsons!
Here's a great family photo from Dave Christians! He, his wife Ali, and their children Chloe and Henry enjoyed posing by the big bear during their fun vacation. You might even recognize Dave as a MASA staff member!
