The Forum is named for Dr. Bob Gene Raines, a founder of the Forum and a participant since 1988. This year will be our first Forum without Dr. Raines, who passed away in December, 2009. His biography and memory book remain on the Forum web page, and notes from his many friends are welcome.
The Forum is free and open to the public.
Registration is required. All school teachers, students in teacher
education, school officials, and civic leaders interested in education
are encouraged to register and attend. Our speaker for the 2010 Forum:
Billy K. Cannaday, Jr., joined the University of Virginia on October
1,2008, as Dean of the School of Continuing & Professional Studies.
As Dean, Dr. Cannaday leads one of the University’s 10 schools, with
the mission of providing undergraduate and graduate degrees,
professional development certification, personal enrichment courses and
travel programs, serving the surrounding communities and more than
15,000 adult students annually at seven regional academic centers
around the commonwealth, in Richmond, Roanoke, Abingdon, Falls Church,
Hampton Roads, Charlottesville and at the FBI National Academy in
Quantico.
Over the past thirty-four years, Dr. Cannaday’s career has
demonstrated a commitment to education and public service. Prior to
joining the University, Dr. Cannaday was appointed to a four-year term
as Virginia’s Superintendent of Public Instruction by Governor Timothy
Kaine. He has worked in elementary, middle, and high school levels and
also held administrative posts at school and division levels in urban
and suburban communities. His knowledge and understanding of local,
state, and national policies and practices provide relevant
perspectives on the school-student-home-community relationships.
