Thank You to
ISTE's
Volunteers
"We couldn't
have done it
without you"
isn't just a
cliché; it
epitomizes the
primary reason
ISTE is
successful. Much
of ISTE's work
is carried out
by hundreds of
volunteers who
contribute their
time, energy and
expertise
throughout the
year. In April,
we sent our
hard-working
volunteers a
special
thank-you note
and gift. Help
us honor our
volunteers by
taking a look at
who they are
and what they do
and see how
you can get
involved as
well.
