• Do you have new Admin/Counselors this year or have some that are not experienced with Ag Ed, Three Circles, IFG, etc.?  If so, encourage them to attend one of the Admin/Counselor workshops being offered this year.  I've attached a flyer.  The next one is on Sept. 18th and would be ideal for school counselors.  
• Are you a new teacher?? Mark your calendar for Sept. 5th, the first virtual new teacher chat through FCAE of the year!  More info (and a link) will be emailed out.  
• Do you have middle school Ag Ed? If so, help us collect the data by completing this Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdgXTszvl7auSxUIayHpqwuksM5R0-wkLM6F88jkfQqfPT80Q/viewform?usp=sf_link
• Got a thank you card?  Send one to your local legislator to thank them for supporting Illinois Ag Education!  
• Haven't scheduled a program visit yet?  I'd love to get you scheduled in Oct.-Dec. I can visit AND serve as a judge/help with a CDE!  Ag Sales is one of my favorites.  
• As CDEs and LDEs get rolling, don't forget to register on ilaged.org. This makes reporting a lot easier for your Section President.
