“I have known Dr. Berman for some time, and I am honored to consider him a friend and a colleague. We were both superintendents in Oregon, him in Eugene and me in Beaverton. We worked side-by-side on a number of statewide legislative issues, and I have always found him to be incredibly insightful, focused, and reflective. He cares deeply about ensuring students have the resources and supports they need to achieve academically and as people. Since our time in Oregon, I continue to communicate with Dr. Berman, as I know he continues to lead on the cutting-edge of critical issues in our field. He is a stellar and thoughtful leader.”
