Meet Executive Board Member Andrew Owens

"I am a Speech-Language Pathologist in my 6th year at Davis, and in my second year as a DEA executive board member. I am really enjoying the service I am able to give to my students in my work, and to my peers and fellow DEA members. Helping each other and sharing information and opportunities that can improve life is my great privilege. I believe that being a member of professional organizations and helping to further their agendas in a great way to improve myself as a person and as an educator. I enjoy the being involved in and supporting good causes, and I enjoy feeling that I have something important to care about.

I have a great personal interest in the quality of education for children. Clinton has been my home for the past 5 years, since moving from Las Vegas, where I taught middle-school choir, orchestra, Mariachi, general music, and where I went back to school. My wife is a music teacher, and my three kids are attending Davis County schools. I hope that their peers, colleagues, and teachers will be as committed to improving their educational and social environments by working for the best things in life."
