MassCUE Board of Directors Elections: Meet the Candidates

Meet the Candidates: 2026 Board of Directors Election The MassCUE Board of Directors helps shape the strategic direction of our organization. We're pleased to introduce the four candidates running for three elected Director positions. Cast your vote April 20–30, 2026. Watch for your ballot link in your inbox on April 20. Andrew Marcinek I am excited to continue on the MassCUE Board of Directors, bringing with me the experience of having served two previous tenures from 2013-2015 and 2019-2024. My time on the board has allowed me to contribute to key initiatives, including the chairperson of the Communications Committee and the Finance Committee, and I am eager to continue that work.  Serving in this role presents an opportunity to collaborate, engage, and support educators across Massachusetts. Throughout my career, I have experienced education from multiple perspectives—as a classroom teacher in public, independent, and charter schools, as an educational technology administrator, and as a national policy maker with the U.S. Department of Education. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of educational technology and its impact on teaching and learning. I firmly believe that MassCUE must continue advocating for equitable access to technology resources for all students and educators in our state.  My work on President Obama’s ConnectED initiative provided first hand insight into what is necessary to ensure equitable access to high-speed connectivity, mobile devices for learning, high-quality professional development, and adaptable digital resources. Additionally, my contributions to the National Educational Technology Plan (NETP) deepened my understanding of how schools can effectively integrate technology to foster creativity, collaboration, and student-centered learning. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to ensuring that educational technology serves as a tool for equity and innovation.  As a long-time advocate for progressive technology integration in schools, I believe organizations like MassCUE play a critical role in shaping the future of digital learning. We must continue to guide educators and school leaders in making informed, forward-thinking decisions about technology implementation. I would be honored to once again collaborate with this dynamic board to drive MassCUE’s mission forward and support educators across the state. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my experience, insights, and passion for educational technology to this incredible community. Drew O’Connors Since joining the board in February 2025, I have been deeply committed to advancing MassCUE’s mission of supporting educators and students across Massachusetts through meaningful technology integration. Serving as Treasurer since October 2025 has been both a privilege and a responsibility I take seriously. In that time, I have worked closely with our Executive Director, Operations Director, and fellow officers to strengthen financial transparency across the organization, ensuring every board member has a clear understanding of our finances and their shared stewardship of them. Beyond my finance work, I’ve contributed as a member of the Communications and Influence & Advocacy committees, and I’ve been proud to chair the Finance Committee. These roles have deepened my investment in MassCUE’s long-term health and growth. As Director of Technology and Data Systems at Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical School, I bring a practitioner’s perspective to the board, one rooted in the day-to-day realities of educational technology in Massachusetts schools. I understand firsthand why MassCUE’s work matters, and I want to continue playing a meaningful role in sustaining it. I look forward to continuing to serve, and I am grateful for the trust the membership has placed in me. John O’Sullivan John O’Sullivan is the author of eight books on educational and assistive technology. His most recent book is Technology for English Language Learners. John currently works for Chelmsford Public Schools as the Chelmsford High School Librarian. John writes assistive technology reports in his current role.  He has worked as a special education teacher, technology integration specialist, and computer teacher. He is a former staff member of MassCUE. John ran MassCUE’s social media from 2017 to 2019. He has been an active member of MassCUE for nine years, serving on the Fall Conference, Communication, Professional Development, and Grant Committees. He was the chair of the 2025 Fall Conference Committee and has been a board member since January 2025. John has been presenting at conferences around New England, including MassCUE, for the last eleven years.  John strongly advocates for technology for special needs students and English language learners.  Adam Steiner As a long-time educator and advocate for technology integration, I have long supported MassCUE’s mission to educate, connect, and inspire Massachusetts educators. I am eager to contribute my experience in district leadership, pedagogy, and public governance to help guide the organization’s future. I am currently  serving as the Director of Educational Technology for the Wellesley Public Schools, building on my years of experience and my graduate work. My doctoral research at Boston College focused on the intersection of 1:1 initiatives and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a perspective that ensures our digital environments are inclusive and flexible for all learners. I remain committed to the idea that technology integration must be student-centered and pedagogically driven rather than a mere technical exercise. What I also bring to the Board is a unique blend of instructional expertise and formal governance experience. My eight years as an elected member of the Framingham City Council provided me with deep insights into policy development, strategic planning, and systemic change management. I believe this background in local government, paired with my EdTech leadership, allows me to offer a balanced perspective on the growing challenges pushing back on technology education. If elected, I intend to leverage my experience to support MassCUE’s strategic goals, specifically focusing on promoting technology fluency as a critical and foundational skill for every student in Massachusetts.

My philosophy centers on equity, innovation, and sustainability. I believe AI, when implemented thoughtfully, has the potential to personalize learning, streamline administrative tasks, and empower educators with real-time insights. At the same time, professional development must evolve to ensure staff are confident and prepared to use these tools responsibly and effectively. If elected, I will work to expand statewide access to high-impact technology programs, elevate AI readiness, and ensure both students and educators are equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Greg Limperis With a proven track record of leadership in educational technology, I am committed to advocating for the effective integration of technology in education.

Andrew is dedicated to fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainable practices that support Massachusetts educators and students in a rapidly evolving digital world. Corey Mello With 17 years of experience in Special Education and 15 of those years in an IT role, I believe I can bring an often overlooked perspective to MassCUE’s leadership as we look to the future. I come from a self-taught background in the field with a growing focus in assistive technology to support and enrich both physically impaired and neurodivergent students. I have a strong belief that digital citizenship and an educated user base is key to navigating the rapidly changing landscape of technology in schools. Both cybersecurity and ethical application of the tools at our fingertips begins and ends with the user, and it is our responsibility to understand this in order to empower our students.
