YOUR EXPERIENCE CAN MOVE THE WORK FORWARD. ACTEAZ invites Arizona CTE leaders and practitioners to share their experience, ideas, and solutions at the 2027 Midwinter Leadership Conference. Smaller by design. Deeper by purpose. Midwinter is an intimate gathering where CTE professionals from secondary and postsecondary education come together for meaningful conversation, practical learning, and shared problem-solving. You don’t have to be a national expert or have all the answers. You simply have to have something worth sharing. Bring a practice that is making a difference. A challenge you’ve navigated. A partnership that is working. An idea that could help another leader move forward. This is your opportunity to share what you know, learn from your peers, and contribute to the future of Arizona CTE. Bring your experience. Share your work. Move AZ CTE forward.
