What a wonderful time we had in St. Petersburg!
Thank you to the Board of Directors and to the many volunteers, presenters, facilitators, PAEA, and CFAE staff members that helped create the most attended conference that we have had in six years! From outstanding keynote speakers, Terry Barrett and Cassie Stevens, to terrific workshops, forums, and panels, to celebrations of each other and our profession, the 66
th
annual conference is one that is sure to be remembered!
I would like to take a moment to honor our 2018
FAEA Award Winners
. At the Awards Breakfast during our conference, I spoke about how our awardees reminded me of dandelions. Dandelions are persistent. We find them pushing through cracks in sidewalks and in lawns determined to flourish. They rise to the challenge and bring beauty to sometimes overlooked and unexpected places. Dandelions are healthy—they nourish us! And most importantly, dandelions don’t expect anything in return. Even when at their peak beauty—filled with seeds ready to take flight—they become the grantors of others’ wishes and dreams.
We celebrate our members to recognize individuals who have achieved the highest level of professionalism in art education and to show appreciation for those that have contributed their services in an exemplary way to the association and to the professional goals we share. Think for a moment of all of the “dandelions” that are in your life, demonstrating persistence and determination, rising to the challenges while nourishing others, and helping so many discover and achieve their wishes and dreams.
If you are interested in joining an FAEA committee, please reach out to
info@faea.org
to let us know. We would love to have your help!
Happy Fall!
