| Abstract | In this article, the author presents an interview with Sue Swaim, the National Middle School Association's (NMSA) longest-serving executive director. During the interview, Swaim reflects on her personal experiences leading NMSA. For fourteen years, Swaim's tenure provided a continuous, consistent voice for young adolescent education. Upon reflection, Swaim identified three things she believed had contributed to making NMSA a unique organization among educational associations. These are: (1) NMSA focused solely on the education and well-being of young adolescents; (2) NMSA brought together a diverse membership focused on young adolescent education; and (3) NMSA conferences are different than other education conferences. Swaim also identified the three priorities of NMSA: (1) Renewed focus on middle level curriculum and instruction; (2) Support for the enactment of appropriate assessments; and (3) Continuation of expansion of its advocacy efforts. As the first decade of the 21st century rolls to an end, Swaim also articulates her thoughts on several challenges that face NMSA as the field's leading association dedicated to improving the education and well-being of young adolescents.
