Hello Counseling and Career Development Members!
| Although CareerTech VISION was two months ago I am still very excited about all of the things we accomplished! There were a few highlights worth mentioning. First, the Division Opening Session featuring Kevin Fleming. It was not only motivational and inspirational but truly AWESOME! Along with the joint hospitality room with Administration, Work-based Learning and New and Related Services Divisions. They had provided free headshots for our members, which was a wonderful experience. The headshots we taken by a group of students from a local school—WORK-BASED LEARNING in action! I'm eagerly anticipating what this year will bring and the new accomplishments we will achieve! | |
Sincerely,
Teresa "Gibby" Gibbons
VP, ACTE Counseling and Career Development Division
