It’s hard to believe but 2012 has arrived and the ACET 2012 Spring Conference is just around the corner. The ACET Program Planning Committee and Leadership team is excited about our upcoming spring conference in Austin, April 10-12 at the Austin Renaissance Arboretum Hotel. We know you won’t want to miss this spring’s conference. Being located in Austin we’ll be close to TEA headquarters which makes it much easier for our leaders and colleagues at TEA to present on the most current and relevant federal and state program’s topics. We’ll also have Noelle Ellerson from the American Association of School Administrators in from Washington, DC to share her perspective on the latest congressional priorities and US Department of Education policies and initiatives and how they will affect you. And of course, we will also showcase a number of our member district’s federal and state best practices programs. Register for the conference and reserve your room at the Renaissance, TODAY! Please check back in the following weeks for updates to the 2012 Spring Conference information.
Important notes about Online Registration: The two most important things to keep in mind when using the online registration system are to be sure to correctly enter you email address and to be sure to click on the "Submit and Finish" button on the payment page.
