From the President: 2009 HTEC Conference

I hope the school year is progressing well for all 700 plus HTEC member schools across North America.

I know many of you feel as I do that there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done! Please take comfort in the fact that as an HTEC member you are involved in the most significant movement available today to educate tomorrow's CNC manufacturing workforce.

I am pleased to announce that the 2009 HTEC Conference at Guilford Technical Community College in Greensboro, NC will be held July 15-17, 2009. The July dates were chosen to better accommodate high schools and universities.

Details will be forthcoming from the organizing committee, but I am excited to announce that the conference will focus on the sharing of best practices from all three HTEC educational groups: high schools, community colleges/technical schools, and universities. In addition, on Friday we will tour Stewart-Haas Motorsports, Hendrick Motorsports, and Windshear, Inc.

On-line registration will begin shortly after the first of the year. I hope to see you there; it should be a great conference.

Also, please check the website for a regional HTEC conference in your area.

J. Douglas Bowman
President
Haas Technical Education Council
