Illinois Association for Gifted Children
The Illinois Association for Gifted Children is a not-for-profit corporation that was established in 1989 by a small group of educators who wanted to create a voice within Illinois to further the opportunities to better understand the educational and social/ emotional needs of gifted individuals. To that end, gifted educators, parents of gifted children, and other individuals continue to support the IAGC mission and related goals. IAGC is an Affiliate of the National Association for Gifted Children.Become an IAGC Member |
2024 Board Election RESULTS
Congratulations to Dr. Evan Glazer, President, Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, on his re-election to the IAGC Board of Directors.
Dr. Glazer has served on the IAGC Board from January 2021 to the present date. His current term concludes Dec 31, 2024. His term will run from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
As an IAGC board member, Dr. Glazer supports the Education committee and worked with a team of students to develop the Learning Enrichment Engine for IAGC, which provides information about access to free or scholarship-based enrichment programs throughout the state of Illinois."My core interests are to make learning enrichment more accessible to students and families around the state. That includes spreading awareness of free or scholarship-based opportunities, writing grants to create free outreach programs at IMSA, and making programs available in new locations around the state. The most recent has been an IMSA Hub in Carbondale, and we aim to create an access point in Chicago. I believe these priorities will serve the IAGC community well because we are creating these access points for students throughout grades K-12, and are purposefully identifying locations where there is a need to offer enrichment services."Goals for the IAGC
