My time on the board has allowed me to better understand the concerns of educators and artists who do this valuable work. I hope that my own insights and experiences have assisted Local Learning with their work.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning with the American Folklore Society\u2019s meeting in Buffalo in 2018, New York Folklore has been increasingly active in supporting and promoting folk arts in education in New York State.\u00a0New York Folklore is viewed as a resource for artists and educators through our statewide advocacy for artists and community organizations, and through our own publication,\u00a0<em>Voices: The Journal of New York Folklore.\u00a0<\/em>With the formation of the New York Folk Arts Education Network, coordinated by Mira Johnson, our engagement became much\u00a0more manifest.\u00a0Therefore,\u00a0while my term on the board and serving as its Secretary is now ending, I am pleased to be able to say that the collaboration\u00a0between our national and statewide organizations continues: through the annual Culture, Community and the Classroom workshops for teachers and artists; through the ongoing network activities in New York State; and through a burgeoning group of trained artists, culture bearers, and educators who fulfill Local Learning&#8217;s mission for \u201ca nation of lifelong learners who understand traditional arts and knowledge as critical tools for transformative solutions to the complex challenges of today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellen McHale, Executive Director
