Winter Quarterly Newsletter

Greetings Business Education Division Members,

Welcome to the new year and second half of our school year. As I write this, the temperature outside my house is -7 with howling winds contributing to a real feel of -30 and my own children have not had an open school building in six days. As educators, managing twists and turns thrown at us by outside forces is a super strength we leverage every day. Your membership with ACTE provides a plethora of resources to help you successfully manage the twists and turns we encounter as business educators. Check out some examples below of upcoming opportunities for you to take advantage of your membership.


A unique, limited time opportunity was brought to our division at the recent CareerTech VISION conference in Phoenix by our friends at Rubin Education. We are tremendously appreciative of their hospitality room sponsorship and the opportunity they are providing with their new email (for Gmail and Outlook) etiquette tool, Propel. Propel teaches students to write professional-grade emails — no more emails that look like text messages. To take advantage of this insider opportunity with Propel, click here for a demonstration and to request free access.


I hope you stay warm in these deep winter weather months and look forward to seeing you soon at an upcoming ACTE opportunity.


All the best in 2024,

Sean Crevier

VP, ACTE Business Education Division
