Happy Friday!  I hope you’ve had a great start to the school year. I thought I’d email to share a Fall Checklist with some important dates and action items.  As a reminder, membership submission date has been pushed to Nov. 1st.  If you are new to AET, the IL Ag Ed site, or are just struggling with something regarding online enrollment, let me know.  I’m happy to help!

Over the past couple months, I’ve been on the road a lot doing program visits.  I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed getting to know D2 teachers and their programs.  For those I haven’t visited yet, if you are ready for a visit this Fall, let me know!

On the note of amazing teachers and programs -
