President's Message

President’s Message

Welcome to the new ACET website!  I hope that you will find some useful information and stay informed regarding the work of our Association, various committees and the Executive Council.  Please visit the site often as we will be adding new content much more frequently than in the past.

Our Program Planning committee, under the direction of President-Elect, Craig Henderson, is currently in the process of designing a terrific conference which will be October 28-30 at the Westin Galleria in Houston.  Our theme this fall is “Dedicated to Excellence”.  Please be aware that we again will be having the ACET Hospitality Hour Tuesday evening after the first day of the conference.  Please join us for our event where you can network with your colleagues to talk about your dinner and/or shopping plans.

This is the time of year for elections!  Think about becoming part of the ACET Executive Council either by running for an officer or a Regional Director.  We also have need for people to be part of our various committees.  If you are interested in running for office, please contact our Nominations Committee Chairperson, Dr. Jamie Bryson at jbryson@aldine.k12.tx.us.

If you are interested in helping with the conference, we are always in need of folks to facilitate a break-out session.  For more information or to submit your name for this role, please contact Vice President for Membership, Mike McCallum, at mmcallum@reg8.net.

Also, if you or someone you know will be retiring and would like to be recognized at the conference, please submit that information to our Awards Chairperson, Vickie Ansley at Vickie.ansley@esc16.net.

I am honored to serve as ACET President and I hope to see you in Houston!
