A Message from the President....... 

There are many opportunities for professional development throughout the year. All educators attend various conferences as well as professional development activities hosted by their local districts. These are all wonderful activities. It is important that all of us remain life-long learners.

However, I have to say that there are few professional development events that are more powerful than the ACTE Summer Conference. This year, the ACTE Summer Conference will be held July 19-23. If you can attend only one conference in the next 12 months, make it the ACTE Summer Conference! At no other conference will you receive more up-to-date information on CTE standards, CTSO events and activities, CTE assessments and more. Attending this conference is a must-do if you want to be "in the know" when you start the school year. During the conference you’ll have the opportunity to network with colleagues from across the state and the opportunity to choose from nearly 300 sessions. It is the place to be in July!

I look forward to seeing you on July 20 when we kick off the 33rd annual ACTE Summer Conference.

See you there!

Dr. John Mulcahy

President 2007-2008
