Fall Quarterly News Update | | |
Greetings Business Education Division Members,
| |
How in the world is it October already? Whatever your daily role looks like as a business educator, I hope you are enjoying the parts you love and finding ways to grind through the tougher aspects. As an ACTE member, we are here with you to celebrate that joy and here for you when you need support. Between our conferences, online learning, publications, leadership opportunities, and passionate members, building relationships is my favorite part of ACTE and I hope you are embracing our network to the fullest.
Almost halfway through my final year serving you here, I’m excited for our upcoming division election to decide our next division president. We have two great candidates on our election slate, which you’ll hear more about in the upcoming months. And if you’re able to attend ACTE's CareerTech VISION this year, I look forward to you meeting them both. Please be on the lookout for election and voting information and be sure to keep your membership up to date so your voice is heard.

Well wishes and I hope to see you at VISION,
Sean Crevier
VP, ACTE Business Education Division
