It was great seeing so many of you at Career Tech Vision and it was an honor to represent you in the board meeting at Vision. I'm excited to finish up my term this year as your Region I VP and work with Doug Bush to transition him into that role as I transition into the role of President-Elect. It's been my honor representing you and our region and I'm excited to continue my service to ACTE's Members as part of the board of directors.
