CDC Report – Jane Dodge

• BA members Wayne Tindle and Mike Cranford, Sen. Vernon Malone, Rep. Jennifer Weiss, Rep. Bernard Allen, School Board Member Eleanor Goettee, and CTE Director, David Rockefeller attended the ADHS Elected Officials Visitation Day.
• Planning for Xtreme Beginnings countywide career fair has begun and will be held April 21st. Contact Jane if you are interested in talking about a career. More four-year colleges and universities will be represented this year as the goal is to encourage students to pursue higher education in some capacity (community college, four-year college, or trade school) so they will have a skill and a path to a better future.
