Bill Bogdan

Bill began his journey in special education as a teacher in the 1970s and became passionate about CEC as it defined its visionary leadership role in supporting the positive interpretation and implementation of the IDEA. Bill has served for over 30 years in administrative leadership positions at the local, state, and national levels. While serving as CEC President (1999-2000), he helped guide the organization through a radical governance transformation. From that experience to today, Bill has been continually enriched by CEC and its vision for advancing “High-quality education that is inclusive and equitable for individuals with disabilities.” Bill most recently served as chair of the Leadership and the Development Program Subcommittee, the Leadership Development Committee, and he currently chairs the CEC Fundraising and Development Committee.

Bill joined the Elizabeth Farrell Society in 2022.
