Note from the President On behalf of the IETL Board, I want to welcome everyone back to the 21-22 school year. I am excited to start this year as the new IETL President and hope to be as successful as Don Ringelestein was the last three years. Our Board met this summer and reviewed and updated our three main “pillars”: CTO Skills, Best Practices, and Voice. Feel free to check out the details on our website at https://www.iletl.org/about-us/. Please review the upcoming dates in the newsletter highlighted by our upcoming 9/21 workshop. In addition, we will be launching the IETL “Network Admin” group on 9/21 and are excited to see how connecting this group can help benefit all of our districts. Member Tidbits:  Don Ringelstein completed his 3-year term as president of IETL - thanks, Don! Don remains on the Board and we will continue to have his leadership. Brian Skibinski retired from the IETL Board - thanks, Brian! Phil Hintz is a new Board member - welcome Phil! Jeremy Wickman completed the CoSN Early Career CTO Academy.  Hope all of you are having a great start to your year. Reach out to me with any ideas or questions! John Connolly
