In September NCHE welcomed Cynthia Stout, longtime NCHE member and a frequent participant on NCHE Colloquium teams, as the Acting Executive Director. She will be in charge of the day-to-day operations of NCHE, supervision of staff, and communications with the Trustees, state councils, and other history education organizations. Cynthia, who holds a Ph.D. in history, is retired from her work as a middle school teacher and curriculum specialist with the Jefferson County (CO) Public Schools. She also was a Project Director for a Teaching American History Grant that was awarded to her district. Cynthia will spend approximately half of her time in the NCHE Office and the rest divided among NCHE programs and her home in Denver.
