MCEC educator with student

December 4-5, 2023 
Huntsville, Alabama 


Join us December 4 and 5 in Huntsville, Alabama, for the MCEC 360 Summit.

MCEC 360 Summits provide opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, idea sharing, and programming support, as well as discuss the benefits of Purple Star Readiness – and how to apply for or sustain designation. The Summit is open to professionals, students, and parents of our military-connected children.

The event is free of charge. Professional development sessions include MCEC's We Serve Too — National Guard and Reserve Children and Military-Connected Youth in Caregiver Roles, along with an overview of MIC3. This event also offers interaction with MCEC community coordinators and School Liaisons, Student 2 Student introduction for school groups, and a fun, interactive workshop for families.

Please register by November 27 for the professional development, parent, and student events.

This 360 Summit is funded through the Alabama State Department of Education Fund and is in partnership with the Alabama State Department of Education, Huntsville and Madison Boards of Education, Alabama A & M University, and Madison Public Library.
