From the President ...

Thank you to everyone who attended the KySTE Fall Event last week and a HUGE thank you to the leadership of the KySTE Board. I hope you were able to learn something new or at least get refreshed and motivated as we all strive day to day to meet the needs of our students through Technology. Your support of KySTE is greatly appreciated. The Fall Event made me even more excited for the upcoming Spring Conference in March as we welcome Tech leaders from across the state for three great days of sharing and collaboration.
