Hello, Region I Members,

I hope you had a great summer and are preparing for a successful start to your new school year! It's been great staying connected with you at events and through social media this summer! I was honored to represent Region I at the ACTE Board Meeting this summer, and I'm so excited about all of the new events, initiatives, and resources we have planned for you this year! As we gear up for the new school year, I'm thrilled to share some of the exciting professional development opportunities that ACTE and Region I is offering this year.
