| Title | NABE Board Announces the Departure of Delia Pompa: Begins Search for Successor |
| Body | From: http://www.nabe.org/ Press Releases Washington - The Board of Directors of the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE) announces the departure of Delia Pompa as the Associations executive director effective March 1, 2004. NABE is grateful to Delia Pompa for her faithful service to NABE from 1999 to the present. She steered the organization through a successful reauthorization of The Bilingual Education Act and The Elementary and Secondary Education Act despite significant challenges to bilingual education in several states. Thanks to Delias leadership, NABE has continued to focus its efforts on the educational needs of English language learners. This year, NABE celebrated the 30th anniversary of the historic U. S. Supreme Court case, Lau vs. Nichols, that has served as the major precedent regarding the educational rights of English language learners. As NABE celebrated its many accomplishments since that court case, the Board also took stock of the many challenges that lie ahead. As the only professional membership organization at the national level devoted to representing both English language learners and educational professionals, NABE reaffirms its unbending commitment to ensuring equal access to a high quality education for English language learners. A new day is dawning for bilingual education, and NABE is prepared to meet it. The board of directors has taken steps to ensure a smooth transition to appointing a new executive director. Dr. Alicia Sosa, former NABE Board Member and former NABE Director of Membership and Publications, will serve as interim executive director while the board conducts a national search.
