Good evening, Don. I hope you had a great conference. We appreciate SRN and continue to benefit from our participation. Thank you! Please allow me to introduce you to Steve Kinkeade. Steve is the National Sales Director for Mind Education https://www.mindeducation.org/.
I have recently joined their Board of Directors. Mind Education is a non-profit provider of math curriculum. Mind Education solutions are grounded in neuroscience and thus built on how the brain works. This is right up your alley, and I think the two of you would have a lot to talk about.
I have suggested that Steve consider SRN as an opportunity for the Mind Education team to build relationships with top-level superintendents and learn something from Professor Hooper. I will leave it to the two of you to connect. I look forward to my next opportunity to join you in Laguna Beach.
