Background
On 12 May 2018, SEAACT lost both a friend and one of the greatest STEM educational ambassadors. Cindy had served on council over a stretch of 20+ years and was the Officer responsible for professional learning programs. Her impact was widely felt and appreciated as SEAACT’s conferences were all well planned, managed and executed because of Cindy’s attention to detail and level of expertise. Cindy was strongly committed to providing opportunities for teachers to grow in their science knowledge and practice. She not only shaped how the conferences operated, but often offered her own workshops to share her expertise and knowledge in the pedagogy of teaching science. Cindy was extremely talented in making science accessible and engaging for all the participants. What was most remarkable though was her generous spirit, her humble and altruistic nature, and her sincere commitment to the professional development of teachers. SEAACT will be forever grateful and better because of Cindy’s involvement in our association.
