“Over the past two decades, my membership in COSA has been invaluable,” Miller said. “Our incredible nationwide network of school attorneys has inspired me, challenged me, and helped me grow into a better legal resource for the school districts I serve. Technology has made the organization an even more powerful influence and resource because the online forum allows us to collaborate as though we’re just in the next office. Because of COSA, we have great opportunities to share, research and learn online and in person in ways that help public education officials across the country. I am honored to receive this award from school attorneys who I respect and admire.”
