W illkommen Business Management, Finance,

Marketing and Technology Educators! On

behalf of the Executive Board of Michigan Business

Education Association, I would like to formally

welcome you to Frankenmuth, the Bavarian Inn and

Conference Center, and our 79th Annual MBEA

Convention. We are most happy to be back here in

historic Frankenmuth, the Little Bavaria of Michigan,

best known for their rich German heritage, Christmas,

and of course, chicken.

It is my pleasure to serve as your 2016-2017 MBEA

President. Thank you for entrusting me in this extremely

important role. As business educators, we are the

innovators and leaders in our state. To keep our “edge”

in the ever-changing environment of technology and

business education, it is vital that we constantly stay

current and continue “Igniting New Ideas, Methods, and

Delivery” in our classrooms.

Throughout my career as a business educator, I see the

need for content-specific professional development,

networking opportunities with colleagues, and now,

more than ever, advocacy for our business education

profession. Your presence at this convention

demonstrates that you are not only committed to your

own professional growth, but that you also want to be in

on the ground floor of what is happening in CTE in our

state.

MBEA is your connecting link to your colleagues.

Enjoy the countless professional development sessions

that will help you in your continued professional

growth. Many of our members look upon their MBEA

colleagues as their extended family. I believe we are

stronger together and that we can be more fulfilled in

our professional lives by the friendships and networks

that we create through our State association. We have a

jam-packed program over the next few days, so please

take a few moments to read this convention program and

develop your personal convention activity calendar.

While visiting our exhibits and breakout sessions, please

take the time to thank our exhibitors and speakers who

have so kindly given of their time, talents and resources

to be here to bring you the latest tools that will make

your mission in the classroom so much easier and allow

you to continue “Igniting New Ideas, Methods, and

Delivery.”

We must keep MBEA a strong and viable organization

in our state. To achieve this goal, we must all work

together. To that end, please share the program with

other business educators who could not join us this year.

If you know a colleague who is not a MBEA member,

encourage them to join MBEA/NBEA/NCBEA and take

an active role in the promotion of our activities to help

us maintain our position of CTE leadership in our state.

As I reflect over the past year, I am honored to be a part

of the MBEA officer team and work with this diverse

group of outstanding individuals. Thank you for your

dedication to the business educators of Michigan. I am

grateful for the support of

each member and proud

to represent you at the

various functions

throughout our state, our

region and nationally as

I serve on the NBEA

Executive Board.

Thank you for

allowing me to serve

this organization and

you, our members.

Auf Wiedersehen,

Colleen

On behalf of the North Central Business Education Association (NCBEA), I

would like to welcome you to the Michigan Business Education Association

(MBEA) state conference. I commend you for attending this conference,

seeking professional development, and networking within our profession. It

is important to connect with other business teachers and share ideas with each

other; what better place to do so than your annual state professional

development conference?

Your MBEA convention planning committee has prepared an excellent

program filled with sessions that will provide information to help enhance your

classroom for the future. Take time to stop by the exhibits, attend some

awesome sessions, meet new friends, visit with old friends, laugh, share ideas,

and be inspired! This is an exciting time to be a member of your professional

business education associations. Our profession is experiencing change, and your professional organizations

are in a position to help you meet those changes by providing opportunities to help you build for the future.

I personally would like to extend two invitations to you while in attendance at your state conference. First, if

you are not a member of National Business Education Association (NBEA), you are invited to join our

association. Make a conscious decision to invest in yourself as a professional and join today. See Pat Pearson,

Michigan State Membership Director, for details on how to join.

Second, I invite you to join other business education professionals at the NBEA annual convention and trade

show March 27-31, 2017, in Baltimore, Maryland.

The professional and personal development you will gain by attending this conference will pay dividends for

you professionally for years to come. Listen and learn from the knowledge and expertise the presenters and

speakers have to give today; share and implement into your classroom tomorrow.

Have a great conference and thank you for your dedication to your students and Business Education!

Warm Regards,

Jason Hendrickson
