2020 Spirit of ACOVA AWARDEE
The ACOVA Board was finally able to present Dr. Mulcahy with his much deserved award.
Many thanks to you, John, for all you do to support Career & Technical Education in Arizona (and beyond). Your wisdom and humor has made all the difference in the work we do. You truly define this award. Because of you, CTE will continue to work toward taking over the world!
On behalf of CTE Administrators across the state,
Dr. Mulcahy, we wish you the very best in your retirement!

SAVE THE DATE: Find Your Pot of Gold Virtual Conference
ACTEAZ is hosting the Find Your Pot of Gold Virtual Conference, March 4-5, 2021. This conference is open to Administrators, Counselors, and Teachers.
Cost for the Conference will be $220.00. Included in the cost is the option for you to enjoy all sessions for two weeks after the conference. We know you are terribly busy, and we hope this will give you time to see all the wonderful presentations that will be offered.
This is an opportunity to learn best practices regarding learning what we have experienced over the last 10 months, on educating your school boards, peers, and students’ parents on what Career and Technical Education is and how CTE has stepped up to the plate during these times.
It will also give us the opportunity to pass along those many great ideas and things we have learned that might make teaching easier on you, which will not only benefit the future of our students, but the future of Arizona and beyond.
That piece is so important with all we have learned over the last six months. Participants will also learn more about developing and sustaining the incredibly important partnerships we have with Post-Secondary Institutions and Industry.
Be sure to join us as we look at CTE as it is today, but also on how we can help you Find Your Pot of Gold during these times. We hope that you will leave this conference, energized, happy and relaxed.
Registration and additional information regarding the conference will be available soon!
