Karen Echeverria
Interim Executive Director
Idaho School Boards Association
Karen Echeverria joined the Idaho School Boards Association in November of 2007. She was originally hired to act as ISBA’s lobbyist and took over as their Executive Director in February of 2008.
Prior to joining the Association, Echeverria worked for the Idaho State Board of Education (SBOE) in the area of governmental affairs and office operations. During her years with SBOE, Echeverria worked extensively with the legislature, especially the House and Senate Education Committees and the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee. Working with the Board, she established a strong working knowledge of education from Pre-K to graduate school.
Echeverria also worked as the Idaho State Administrative Rules coordinator for nearly ten
years and has extensive knowledge and experience in the administrative rule process. She continues to teach CLE classes on the topic and is often called upon to testify before the legislature to clarify proceedings.
Karen’s extensive experience is a benefit to the ISBA and will move this organization to the next level.
