"We spent the summer applying our Guiding Principles to map out strategic realignment fitting with our core values," said Jonathan Atkins, President of Lab-Aids. "We have known for 60 years that teachers, parents, and students are eager for science that is research-based, relevant, and hands-on."

To increase access to its innovative programs and materials, Lab-Aids restructured its executive team. Key to this plan is their new EVP of Business Development, Angela Amundsen. "This is an exciting time for Lab-Aids," says Amundsen. "We want to bring our great materials and programs to more teachers and students."

"Angela is uniquely qualified to lead the organization's growth while improving access to high quality science programs for new and existing markets," says Atkins. Amundsen began her career as a classroom teacher and building administrator before transitioning into educational sales. She has over 20 years of experience in bringing solutions to educators and students across the United States, having worked in education publishing at McGraw-Hill Education and Oxford University Press.
