Platform statement
ACTE has made a significant impact on me as an educator and a leader, and I welcome the opportunity to give back to an Association that has given me and my students so much. Through ACTE, I have improved as an educator, a leader and an advocate for CTE. I pledge to continue to work with all of the Region V states to create effective professional development opportunities, advocate for CTE, and grow membership in each state. As educators, we want to provide the best opportunities for our students to learn, grow and become successful. The same is necessary for educators. As Region V vice president, I will work tirelessly with region members and ACTE to develop more opportunities to improve as educators, leaders and advocates, engaging members throughout the whole year. The world is changing, and we need to create innovative strategic plans to ensure that all members are knowledgeable about legislative concerns, instructional strategies, and partnerships in order to engage members and provide membership value. I promise to work with all divisions and board members to strengthen state, regional, and national associations.
