President's Message

Dear AMET members:

​

I am so delighted to welcome you to the 2021 AMET Conference: Migrant Education, Rising with Passion, Persistence and Power.  The conference planning committee members, and local members, have spent many months planning a conference that provides you the opportunity to be a part of excellent professional development from our state agency as well as your colleagues across the state.  It is our hope that this year’s conference equips you with the proper tools and resources to continue your work and empower all students. You are commended for your dedication to and passion for improving the achievement and success of all migratory students in Texas.

Please take advantage of the sessions as well as the academies and participate fully on what is being offered at this year’s conference.  You are also invited to be a part of the Regional Meetings, share your ideas, and learn more about the AMET organization.  With your registration to AMET, your parents will be invited to a free virtual conference in the evenings specifically geared for them.

This year AMET will be offering a post conference professional development track available to those who register for this year’s conference.  These sessions are sure to assist you in your journey to making a difference for our migratory students across the state.

Please join us for a Fun Run: IMarch with Farm Workers 1 mile fun/run walk.  Let’s show support for our farmworkers by walking/running for 1 mile as we open the conference on Wednesday morning. Purchase the event T-shirt, see our AMET website https://www.ametx.org/fun-run.

Come attend the vendor reception to thank our exhibitors for their role in making our conference successful.  This will be a great time to get to know the products and services they provide as well as network with colleagues.   Help us raise money for the AMET scholarship fund, “Dinero for the Sombrero,” to assist our migratory students as they begin their journey through college!

Join me in San Marcos as we reconnect and finally see you in person! 

AMET President
