MAVA Regional Vocational & Agricultural School Superintendents, Non-Regional Board of Directors Members, & Vocational Coordinators,
Knowing not all of us are ACTE members, I wanted to share this opportunity with you as the 2025 ACTE Region I Annual Conference is in Foxborough!!
The Region I conference will precede the MassCTE Annual Convention, with an overlap on the Friday morning events. Region I will be Wed, Thurs, Fri, March 26th -28th. The MassCTE Convention will be Fri & Sat, March 28th & 29th. Both will occur at Patriot Place in Foxborough.
This is a terrific opportunity to “showcase” Chapter 74 vocational technical & agricultural education, which we know is the “GOLD” Standard. We anticipate the opportunity to submit proposals will be released soon.
Please “Mark Your Calendars” and share with appropriate members of your professional team.
It is also our pleasure as well to recognize the Mass 2024-2025 MassCTE Executive Board. These dedicated Chapter 74 vocational technical educators are working diligently to provide two successful professional development opportunities at Patriot Place!!
