Quarterly News

Update

Greetings Region III Members,

This is my last newsletter to you as your Region VP. I have been so fortunate to serve you on the National Board and to get to work and learn from so many fantastic leaders from across our region and nation. I want to thank all of our policy committee members, executive directors, state boards, fellows, and members for all of your efforts that have helped the students, staff and communities we serve be their best and find success. The past two years have definitely tried us all as educators and as always, YOU have been up to the challenge! 


With that, I’d like to personally invite you to the 2022 Region III Conference that is in my home state (and town!) this year. We have some great keynotes, tours, sessions, and FUN lined up for you! If you haven’t already registered for the conference, go to this link to see the agenda, keynotes, and registration information.
