 Hello, my name is Katrina Timura. I'm a Katesel State Conference program co-chair. I want to extend an invitation to you to submit a proposal for this year's in-person conference in Pasadena. It'll be held September 29th to October 2nd. I remember when my coordinator encouraged me to submit a proposal for the very first time. He said I had good ideas and practices that I should share with others. So I did. I submitted a proposal and I've been presenting ever since. I really enjoy being a part of this community of practice and I think you will too. So I hope that you will submit a proposal and encourage others to submit one as well. To make this possible, we're extending the proposal deadline to June 15th. So you do have until June 15th to get your proposal in. We hope to see yours. Thank you. Hi, I'm Christy Reyes and I'm the other program co-chair for the State Conference. I remember attending my first State Katesel Conference several years ago and I still use many of the time-tested effective teaching techniques and activities I learned even back then. I haven't missed a conference in all these years and thanks to technology we were able to continue our professional development even in the midst of a global pandemic. But I'm so excited to learn from you in-person at the State Conference in Pasadena. Please share. Submit a proposal to present your all-time best practices as well as new methods you have developed in the past two years. If you're unsure about how to go about this process, join us for a workshop on how to craft and submit your proposal. This will be held on Saturday, June 4th from 10 to 11 a.m. in Zoom. We can't wait to see you all again in-person in Pasadena.
