REPORT TO THE WA-ACTE EXECUTIVE BOARD

WA-ACTE Past President Submitted By: Lew Keliher Date Submitted: 3-11-17 1. General Thoughts: Since my last report, I have been reading House and Senate bills with great interest hoping to see something that shows solid support for the area of Career and Technical Education. Dealing with the knowledge of how important and needed what we do is makes it tough when others having differing opinions or interests. I hope that each of you that read this can follow what is happening in the legislature and give input when and where you think it’s appropriate. For those of you that have difficulty finding the current bills and who you could contact to state your opinion, I hope you will consider becoming a member of the WOVE. The WOVE gives you week by week updates on what’s happening in Olympia. 2. Strategic Plan Activities: We are currently working with our sections to put in place some of their best presenters to help inform and demonstrate the best of what we do in CTE. If you have not been contacted but have an interest in presenting in Spokane this August, please contact WA-ACTE or me. 3. Matters of Interest: My two matters of interest are; 1, keeping up on the latest legislative actions in hopes of helping, if needed and 2, getting our summer conference the best presenters possible so we continue the quality summer conferences we’re known for. 4. Executive Committee Activities: I will be attending the Region V conference in South Dakota with the executive board in April. Gene Wachtel and I will be presenting on how to assist new Plan 2 instructors get off to a solid start with there classes.

REPORT TO THE WA-ACTE EXECUTIVE BOARD

WSBEA

Submitted By: Mark Sabo

Date Submitted: March 14, 2017

1. Accomplishments Since the Last Report (please identify the strategic plan

goal/objective each activity seeks to achieve):

• WSBEA has agreed in principle to eliminate the summer conference rebate in lieu of WA-

ACTE covering the additional meals for WSBEA membership breakfast and lunch.

2. Emerging Critical Issues/Concerns for WA-ACTE and/or Your Section (for

information purposes only):

• Primary concern is still the MSOC funding legislation.

• The 2016 conference was held in Bellevue and overall, was a success. Even with the

additional location expenses of hosting in Bellevue, we made a profit. The attendees were

generally younger members and that is definitely a positive consideration for hosting on

the west-side of the mountains. We need to make sure our younger members have access

to this conference.

• The WSBEA Fall 2017 conference will not be held, but we will support the MBA staff

with their conference. We will encourage our members to attend the MBA Conclave and

are excited to have this kind of professional development available to members.

• We do not have a venue for BAM 2018 and will be working hard to find a venue.

• WSBEA is still in conversations with FBLA to create an executive board position for

WSBEA. Currently we don’t have anyone on their board.

• The proposal for restructuring the WSBEA Board was presented at BAM and official

voting for the adoption will take place at our next annual business meeting. We currently

have seven regions and the proposal is for three.

3. Emerging Critical Issues/Concerns for the Field of Career and Technical Education

• N/A

4. Other Comments/Suggestions:

• BAM Fall 2017 will not be held and our members will be encouraged to attend the

MBA Conclave National conference in Vancouver, WA.

5. Upcoming Meetings or Conferences:

• WSBEA Annual Meeting – August 5, 2017 in Spokane, WA
