April 23-24, 2024
Join us April 23 and 24 in Phenix City, 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, along with an overview of MIC3 and the Military Student Identifier. This event also offers interaction with MCEC community coordinators and School Liaisons, Student 2 Student refresher training for school groups, and a fun, interactive workshop for families.
This 360 Summit is funded through the Alabama State Department of Education Fund and is in partnership with the Alabama State Department of Education, Maxwell Air Force Base, Fort Moore, and Troy University.
