We are excited to share some wonderful news with you—Meg Scalia Bryce has officially joined the Board of Directors for the School Board Member Alliance!

Meg is a wife and mother of four who lives in Charlottesville, Virginia. She holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Virginia, where she has also taught undergraduate Psychology. In 2023, Meg courageously ran for school board in Albemarle County; she has remained steadfast in her commitment to academic excellence and strong local governance.

In July 2024, Meg was nominated by Governor Glenn Youngkin to serve on the Virginia State Board of Education. While her confirmation was ultimately blocked by the Democratic majority, she served for six months with distinction—advocating for accountability in education, small government, and parental rights.

We are honored to welcome Meg to the SBMA Board, where her passion for education, principled leadership, and firsthand experience will be invaluable in furthering our mission to support and empower school board members across the Commonwealth.

Please join us in welcoming Meg Bryce to the team!

Warm regards,
Shelly Norden
Executive Director
School Board Member Alliance (SBMA)
