Ben Schafer
WERC Executive Director
As an educator for the past 21 years in both public and private settings, I am passionate about what educators do and the sacrifices they make each day. Serving as a teacher, principal and superintendent has given me a unique perspective on how our organization can help ease the burden on schools; in addition to helping them grow!
I am lucky enough to have the best wife in the world and a wonderful family. We have three kids and love to hunt, fish, golf, play cards and video games, camp, and coach basevball.
Working on complex problems makes me love the quote:
“The work will teach you how to do it.”
