Wall becomes head of state
education association
Special to the Journal
Barbara Wall, director of
career, technical and agri
culture education for the
Houston County Board of
Education, recently assumed
the position of president
of the Georgia Association
for Career and Technical
Education
Working in the area of
career, technical, and agri
cultural education for the
past 27 years has provided
me with a solid foundation
to help move the GACTE
organization forward while
serving as president, Wall
said.
It is imperative that we,
as career, technical, and
agricultural educators,
showcase our programs to
our legislatures so that we
will stand a better chance
of winning the funding
competitions at the state
and federal levels. With
out adequate funding, our
programs will not exist.
GACTE, which has a mem
bership of more than 2,100,
is dedicated to providing
educational leadership for
developing a competitive
workforce.
