Join Phil Jarosz, NYSCATE Western NY Regional Director, and Michelle Okal-Frink, NYSCATE At-Large Director in the region, for this annual free Western NY Meet-Up! Continuing on with the great experiences of members in the Western NY region at the NYSCATE annual conference last year, we want to continue the wonderful connecting and learning at our spring meetup in March.

This is a great chance to network with other WNY Educators and meet the director and influencers from the WNY Region. Discover who NYSCATE is, how we can help WNY with technology education, explore our PD opportunities, and hear about the exciting grant and conference opportunities for this year.

Special thanks to Educational Vistas for sponsoring this meet-up.

Registration closes on March 16 at 3 pm ET.
