Platform statement
For anything to span the test of time, growth and participation are foundational. As PACE vice president-elect, I want to focus on membership growth/ retention and active membership participation. My objective is to grow membership within each state’s PACE division and cultivate divisions in states that do not have PACE. Bringing postsecondary career professionals together with a common denominator — ACTE PACE — will only make CTE and the Association stronger. To do this, we must activate members’ participation and mentorship, growing member involvement that bridges state lines and connects CTE professionals from coast to coast. In order to retain members, it is important to provide quality member value and foster a sense of belonging to ACTE, creation of additional member benefits, and member recognition. All of this will, in turn, create a recruiting tool for the division. Visibility of membership is a must for sustainment, and in doing so we can strategically join all states together, unifying CTE.
