ATPE is excited to announce the members of its inaugural class of participants in Leadership ATPE. This brand-new program for aspiring education leaders enables an elite group of ATPE members to hone the skills needed to serve their schools and communities, pursue leadership roles within ATPE, and advance their careers. The year-long program will include two expense-paid leadership retreats and additional networking opportunities focused on building such skills as public speaking, strategic planning, advocacy, nonprofit leadership, and more. Members of the Leadership ATPE Class of 2018-19 will also be recognized during the ATPE Summit next summer.
 
“We had an outstanding group of educators who applied for positions in our program this first year, and the selection committee had a difficult time narrowing down the choices,” said ATPE State President Byron Hildebrand. “All of those invited to join Leadership ATPE should be very proud of their accomplishment in being selected for this honor.”
