2021 ELITE CONFERENCE Registration Closes September 8th

Please remember that registration for Elite Conference closes September 8th.  We are getting close to our registration limit.  If we go over, we will notify those that are on the waiting list.  If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Megan Coy (mcoy@ilaged.org).  Information about the conference can be found below.  We would also like to note that the date for the event is Friday, September 17th as there had been a few messages that had the date incorrect.

The Elite Conference Registration is now open for high school students interested in pursuing a career in agricultural education!  

The need for agriculture teachers in the state of Illinois and nationwide are very high.  This one day workshop gives students with an interest in teaching a chance to explore the possibilities agriculture education has to offer.  It is a great opportunity to meet other students with similar interests, talk with college and university representatives and get any questions answered.  This event will be held on September 17th, 2021 (note this is a change from past years)!  We would like to have students with a genuine interest in pursuing Agriculture Education in attendance. 

This year we will be have a track for those that are first time attendees and those that have attended in the past.  Registration space is limited so make sure to get students registered early.  Also consider having students check out teachag.net, compete in the Illinois FFA Ag Ed CDE, participate in a GAST grant or start an SAE project!
