Update

Dear Region II ACTE Members,

I would like to introduce myself as the new Region II Vice President! I am looking forward to this new role and working with leaders across the nation to continue to grow and support career and technical education (CTE)! I am passionate about the benefits of CTE for all students, and I know you all are as well!

As we embark on the 2022–2023 school year, I ask you to look for opportunities to positively promote CTE to your students, colleagues, and community! Share with others why you chose to teach CTE and the positive impact you are making in the lives of your students!

ACTE Region II Conference is right around the corner! Please make plans to join us in beautiful Virginia Beach from Oct. 5–7. This conference will be a wonderful opportunity to network with others from across the southeast, gain valuable new ideas to take back to your schools, and get some positive energy for this school year!

Sincerely,

Beth Parks

ACTE Region II Vice President
