Welcome back to another great school year. The summer conference was outstanding. If you were not in attendance, you missed a great opportunity. Our membership and attendee numbers increased, our breakout sessions and technical updates were more informative, and we had a celebration on the “Spirit of Norfolk” for our Awards banquet.

            I hope you all enjoy working in the exciting and vast fields of Trade & Industry as educators as much as I do. I would ask that each of you think of what you are going to do to better your own career as well as how you are going to work with others in VATIE to promote the goals of our organization for the benefit of our students and our society as a whole.
As your president, I will carry on the traditions of the presidents before me in advancing our organization. I will promote the official agenda of VATIE as well as your individual efforts to prepare our organization and students for success. My duties are to serve as the official representative of this association, preside over the Board of Directors and the general sessions of the Association, and have the authority to preform my duties as usually pertain to the office of President set forth in our Constitution and bylaws.

Please welcome our newly elected officers Joyce Price (Treasurer) and Laura Smith (President-elect). As President-elect Laura will be responsible for officer nominations, this year there is one officer position open, Treasurer (2-year commitment.) Please refer to the by-laws to view specific duties for that office. If you are interested in the position or know a member who is, please complete the officer nomination form, and send it electronically or by mail to Laura.

Awards (recognition from your peers is an intrinsic reward that is invaluable, and will go un-noticed, if you do not nominate a deserving person. We give four awards at our summer conference (New Teacher of the Year, Teacher of the Year, Educator of the Year, and Roger Johnson Lifetime Achievement). You can find nomination forms under the document tab, do not wait until the nomination deadline of June 1st), and membership (remember there is strength in numbers.

Encourage other teachers in your school to join VATIE. They will join if you encourage and promote our organization as a financial and educational asset to their livelihood.  Inform them that putting aside $35 and becoming a member in good standing could be one of the best investments they make.  Membership includes- legislative specialist to talk to local, state and federal government officials for funding to keep CTE programs operating,  reduce rate at major hotels (before, during, after) summer conference, meals provided during conference sessions, consideration for awards (which comes with a financial reward), having a say in our organization, and some nifty gifts at summer conference!)

I look forward to working with all of you during the upcoming months. Please contact me at any time. I will do my best to address your thoughts, suggestion, concerns, and/or stories of success with the necessary agencies, the executive board and our association.  Thank you for putting your trust in me.

Sincerely,

James Jones, President
