excited to connect with all of you – the vibrant and passionate
educators who are dedicated to improving learning outcomes for
every student. For over 40 years, Indiana Connected Educators
has been a cornerstone of the Indiana education landscape,
empowering educators through collaboration, professional
development, and invaluable networking opportunities. We
believe, as I do, in the transformative power of connection and
its profound impact on teaching and learning.
As your new president, I'm honored to build upon this incredible
legacy and lead ICE into an exciting new chapter. This year, my
passion and focus are laser-sharp: igniting innovation in our
professional development offerings and crafting an annual
conference experience that's truly unparalleled.
We can't wait to see you all this fall as the Indiana Connected Educators gather once again. We deeply value face-to-face learning and the power of
continuous improvement, all so we can be the best possible educators for our students. This year's conference is going to be something special. Think

spark new ideas and collaborations. We've committed ourselves to making this conference the highlight of your professional development year, a place
where you'll leave feeling energized, equipped, and ready to make a real difference. Stay tuned for all the exciting details!
But our commitment to your growth doesn't stop with the conference. I'm deeply committed to expanding our professional development opportunities
throughout the year. We're exploring fresh and innovative formats designed to fit your busy schedules and address your specific needs. We want to empower
you with continuous opportunities to learn, grow, collaborate, and stay at the cutting edge of educational innovation.
