Regina M. Haney, Ed.D.
Executive Director
Department of Boards and Councils of Catholic Education
Dr. Regina Haney is the executive director of the Department of Boards and Councils of Catholic Education at the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA). In this capacity, she shares her experience with school and diocesan boards across the country through workshops, research, and publications. She is co-author with John Convey of Benchmarks Of Excellence: A Research Project On Effective Boards Of Catholic Education.
From 1991 to 2000, Dr. Haney, in addition to being the executive director of the boards department, was the assistant executive director of the Department of Chief Administrators of Catholic Education (CACE). In that capacity, she directed curriculum projects for the association. Among her accomplishments in this area, she coordinated the revision and publication of AIDS: A Catholic Educational Approach to HIV, Lessons to Teach About AIDS/HIV, and directed the publication of Faith, Family And Friends, a Catholic elementary school guidance program for grades K-8. She co-edited, with Karen Ristau, As We Teach and Learn: Recognizing Our Catholic Identity, to assist faculty with the integration of gospel values into the school. In addition, she co-directed New Frontiers, a program to direct school teams to develop a plan to integrate technology into the curriculum. She co-founded the program with Fred Brigham and Angela Ann Zukowski, MHSH. New Frontiers was co-sponsored by the NCEA and The University of Dayton.
Dr. Haney also served as acting director of the Department of Chief Administrators of Catholic education (CACE) in 1991 and 1996.
In addition to serving as executive director of the boards department, she is co-director of Selected Programs for Improving Catholic Education (SPICE). This is a program she initiated with Joseph O'Keefe, SJ, which recognizes, validates, and disseminates exemplary Catholic school programs, so that their best practices can be adapted or replicated by educators around the nation. SPICE is cosponsored by the NCEA and Boston College.
Prior to joining NCEA in 1990, Dr. Haney served for nine years as the superintendent of schools for the Diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina. The strength of her leadership is seen in her many accomplishments as superintendent. Among these achievements are: the revision and implementation of a system-wide accreditation plan; several publications, including CRE-ACTION, a "hands-on" science guide for all grade levels; and the establishment of a network of curriculum coordinators. In the area of telecommunications, she established a satellite network for all schools in the diocese through which students accessed curriculum-based programs. Teachers and administrators participated in satellite in-service sessions, many of which were designed and produced by Dr. Haney.
She received her doctorate from Saint Mary's University, Winona, Minnesota in 2004. Her dissertation was titled “Leadership Competencies of Board Chairpersons of Award-Winning Boards of Catholic Education.”
Established in 1904, the NCEA is the largest private professional education organization in the world, representing 200,000 Catholic educators serving 7.6 million students in Catholic elementary and secondary schools, in religious education programs, in seminaries and in colleges and universities.
