Dollars at Work !
National Policy Seminar
in Washington, D.C.
March 5 – 8.
- IACTE provided $4000 this year
to help fund student participation at the ACTE National Policy Seminar. Iowa
is the only state to send students and we were highlighted for that reason at this year’s event. WAY TO GO!!!!
We have learned the value in STUDENTS telling legislators about the difference CTE makes in their lives. In addition to helping legislators understand the importance of CTE, they also learn volumes about
how the legislative process functions and how to provide effective input.
