President's Message...

Hello WEBIT Teachers!!

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Todd Williams, Business and Marketing Teacher at Plymouth High School and your current WEBIT President. I have been teaching for 22 years, have 13 years’ experience as FBLA advisor, and have been a cheerleading/dance team coach for 30 years. My background is a bit diverse.

As we look forward to this calendar year, the WEBIT Board is planning some great events for teachers to participate in. Here is a quick look at what is in the works:

• In March, we will revive the monthly online collaborative events. Continue to watch your email for invites to these events.
• In April or May, we are looking to do a WEBIT Teacher Social. This would be a regional event for teachers in that area. We are exploring the option of moving these events around the state throughout the year
•  In August, WEBIT and WMEA will join forces to host the Summer Academy in the Racine area. More information will be coming.
• In October, WEBIT and WMEA join forces again to host the annual Fall Conference at the Ingleside Hotel in Pewaukee.

The mission statement of the Wisconsin Educators of Business & Information Technology is to “promote lifelong learning and support educators in the advancement of business and information technology education.” The WEBIT Board is committed to this statement and will continue to have this statement as our main focus as we create a strategic plan for the year. We are creating a database of all business and information technology teachers in Wisconsin. Our goal is to use this database to increase communication with all Business & Information Technology teachers throughout the state.

I close with this thought, “An organization is only as strong as the relationships it has with its members.” We want to build a strong relationship with every business and information technology teacher in Wisconsin!  I am excited to serve as the WEBIT President for the next two years. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime for any reason. My school email is towilliams@plymouth.k12.wi.us.
