Madeleine Cook-Baker

  • Executive Assistant

Maddie found her greatest inspiration in her twelfth-grade statistics teacher, Mr. Robinson, whose dynamic approach not only made learning statistics enjoyable but also helped her excel in a subject that wasn’t her forte. Beyond teaching math, Mr. Robinson served as a compassionate guide, assisting students in charting their academic journeys. His mentorship left an indelible mark on Maddie, shaping her commitment to supporting students in their educational pursuits.

Today, Maddie serves as the Executive Assistant to Sara Sneed, the President and CEO of the NEA Foundation. Embracing a role that allows her to contribute wherever needed, Maddie brings dedication and enthusiasm to her work.

Prior to her role at the Foundation, Maddie was engaged in fundraising for a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for children, also in the realm of public education. Her experiences underscored her unwavering belief that every student, regardless of background, deserves access to quality education.

Maddie earned her Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration in Las Vegas, leveraging her skills to help maintain organizational excellence within the Foundation.

In her leisure time, Maddie finds joy in dancing and soaking up the sun outdoors, accompanied by delectable cuisine. Her vibrant spirit reflects her passion for life and her commitment to making a difference in the lives of others
