Seals to serve on nationwide council

Posted

Charlotte Seals, superintendent of Madison County Schools, has been selected to serve on the national American Heart Association Superintendent Council. Seals is joined by nine other superintendents across the nation who will join the Association in seeking to drive transformational impact aimed at improving the health and well-being of students, families, and educators. 

The Superintendent Council is an elite group of American Heart Association volunteers comprised of superintendents from a diverse mix of urban and rural public-school districts across the United States. Council members serve a two-year term, participating in nationwide stakeholder sessions and offering their individual and collective expertise to assist the American Heart Association in creating a culture of health in school systems and communities across the country. 

The council  complements the work of other American Heart Association youth initiatives such as the in-school programs, Kids Heart Challenge and American Heart Challenge, and the American Heart Association Leaders for a Resilient Generation National Council. Each of these areas of work brings volunteers with different backgrounds and perspectives to singularly focus on improving the health and well-being within their local communities and are committed to efforts that will help children achieve healthier, happier, and longer lives.

“The health of our children is a key component to a bright future,” Seals said. “The important work of the American Heart Association to ensure that all students have the opportunity to fulfill their potential aligns with the goals of our school district, which strives to prepare students to make positive contributions to our community and our world. Cardiovascular health is vital to overall well-being. I am proud to join the AHA in working together to empower children to be healthy in body and mind and prepared to accomplish their dreams.” 

“The American Heart Association is honored that Charlotte Seals agreed to bring her wisdom and experience to the Superintendent Council,” says Jennifer Hopping, Executive Director. “She is a resolute community volunteer and is an excellent superintendent.”
