This week I spoke with Adam Copeland, the new Director of Operations for Muskingum Valley ESC. In this episode we spoke about his new role at the ESC and his path to this new endeavor. In addition, we talk about some misconceptions about educational service centers and what services we can bring to the table for member districts that we serve and also those beyond our service area. Thank you Adam for volunteering to be on this episode of our new MVESC podcast project.
