Karega Rausch, NACSA’s President & CEO, has accepted an exciting new role as the Executive Director of the Indianapolis Public Education Corporation (IPEC). We are grateful for Karega’s contributions and strong leadership. 

We are also announcing the transition of Elisa Westapher, Chief Development & Business Officer. We are immensely grateful for all of Elisa’s work, ensuring that NACSA remains strong and sustainable and we are looking forward to her next chapter. 

We appreciate both Karega and Elisa’s more than a decade-long commitment to NACSA and bettering the conditions of charter school authorizing, leading to more great schools for so many kids.  

This transition will happen over several months and during that time NACSA will continue to build on its more than 25-year legacy as the guiding light for charter school authorizing. The talented and capable staff will continue delivering on the high-quality work you’ve come to know NACSA for, including our annual leadership conference, NACSACon.  

We’re grateful for your partnership in this work.
