| Director: Debbie L. Ebner | 2006-2009 |
|||||||||
 |
Debbie Ebner graduated with a Bachelor's in Education from Colorado State University . She currently teaches at Hewitt-Trussville High School in Trussville , Alabama (a bedroom community of Birmingham ). She previously taught in Colorado for 4 years in the 1980's. Between 1989 and 2003, she was in the car rental industry where she spent time in reservations and operations management, and developed a reputation as a “turnaround manager.” As a result, she frequently moved around the country working in Charlotte , NC , Scottsdale , AZ , Tallahassee , FL , Charleston , SC , Atlanta , GA , Memphis , TN , and Myrtle Beach , SC. She spent time as a Regional Manager overseeing 21 Training Managers in 64 locations throughout the southeast. After 11 years, she worked her way up to Corporate Manager for Performance & Learning. Finding the top of the ladder at corporate headquarters unfulfilling, she left taking 8 months off to decide what she really wanted to do with her life. It became clear that she missed teaching and working with high school students. She began the process of getting recertified and looking for a job. 3 years later, a Marketing Education position came open at her local high school. |
