Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solution Tree announced today the opening of a Washington office solely dedicated to supporting educators within the state. This new branch, located in Olympia, is led by newly appointed state office executive director Lacy Waltermeyer. A lifelong resident of Washington, Waltermeyer will lead Solution Tree’s objective to help educators across the state improve student learning outcomes.
“We are thrilled Lacy has joined our team as a state office executive director,” said Solution Tree president and COO Ed Ackerman. “Her wealth of experience as a leader, partnered with her passion for improvement, make her the ideal person to grow Solution Tree’s presence in Washington and connect local schools to the critical support they need to strengthen student achievement.”
