To Run:  Submit a 1-2 minute video. Share: 1) who you are: name, CTE pathway, School, Grade- and what position you are running for.  2) Qualities you believe you have that would make you the perfect candidate  3) Why do you want to be the district rep?

Videos will be shared with ALL Participating schools December 4-8 for voting.
