2024 Power Player in Education

We are proud to announce that GO’s Executive Director, Gayle Villani, has been named among one of the 2024 Power Players in Education by amNY Metro & PoliticsNY.

New York boasts a vast and dynamic education system, supported by a dedicated network of exemplary leaders. The 2024 amNY Metro & PoliticsNY Power Players in Education list looks to honor these dedicated leaders who champion progress and success in all forms of education.

From presidents of educational institutions to directors of nonprofits to policymakers, these individuals are at the forefront of shaping New York’s education landscape and guiding students towards a bright future.

A Power Player in Education understands that at the center of any education system is the importance of making an impact—commitment to the art of learning and guiding students toward a bright future. Gayle offers her insights on how to best support New York’s students and educators.

“Focusing on and investing in the things that we know will have the biggest impact on teaching and learning: small class sizes; attracting, retaining and developing high-quality instructors; and supporting social-emotional learning and the well-being of students.”
