President's Message...

As I look out the window and see the Japanese beetles eating some of my favorite perennials to shreds, I remind myself that I have many things on my summer to do list still to be crossed off.  While I have accomplished much so far, there still is much to be done.  I sincerely hope you are enjoying the summer and all that comes with it for you and your family.

One of the things you can get done this summer is to join or renew your membership with WEBIT.  Just click on the Join WEBIT tab on our webpage for more information.  Another thing you can check off your list is to register for our annual conference.  This year’s conference is the 70th conference for WEBIT, formerly known as WBEA, and will be sure to get those creative juices flowing. There will be new activities and resources to take back to the classroom or to ponder for your district.  Everything you need to know for the conference can, of course, be found on our webpage under the PD Registration tab.  Some of you have set aside Carl Perkins funds to offset WEBIT costs while others use budget monies to join and attend.  Both of these are great ways to get to the conference and get involved in your state organization.  If you are interested in presenting at our conference, we would love to hear from you!  Please contact me so I can get the information out to you:  staceyryan@waunakee.k12.wi.us

Lastly, your WEBIT board has been working hard to look at our bylaws and update anything that seems to be out of date.  At the conference in October, we will have our annual meeting to vote on changes that will make us better and stronger moving into the future. Soon we will need to fill open seats or seats that will be opening on the board.  Consider this important leadership role and join a great team to move Business and Information Technology forward for the State of Wisconsin.

Continue to enjoy the warm weather and your time away from the normal routine.  If you have any questions or suggestions regarding WEBIT, don’t be afraid to contact me at the email address stated up above.  

Fondly ~ Stacey Ryan, President
