He retired in 2020.John has been with this Association since the inception. He was instrumental in helping to revitalize the NYS Driver Ed Association back in 2009 after the original Association was dormant for almost 15 years. His beloved wife Joan, who passed away earlier this year, also helped to get the association incorporated and with John as treasurer she helped to establish the association as a non-profit.

In the workshop participants learned to: Describe how to coach a student in behind-the-wheel lessons, Identify how to provide immediate feedback during behind-the-lessons, Describe the correlation between coaching and correcting in behind-the-wheel lessons
The workshop was recorded and posted afterwards for members. It's on the ADTSEA website.
Plan Ahead. Teen Driver Safety Week is October 19–25, 2025
Teachers this is a good opportunity to plan ahead and increase safety messaging in our schools outside of the driver education program. A teen’s inexperience behind the wheel makes them more susceptible to crashes, so including teen safety messaging in a traffic safety communication plan is important. Specific risk factors for teens behind the wheel include: alcohol and drug use, not wearing a seat belt, distracted driving, additional passengers, speeding, and drowsy driving. Let's get a head of all the contests and opportunities to spread the word about safe driving to all students this year. Keep an eye on various safety projects that can reap your school awards for innovative ways td get the message out.and opportunities to win scholarship awards as well as cash prizes.
