A Note from Our Regional Vice President
Ileana Rodriguez
Thanks to the more than 500 educators who attended the 2012 Midwestern Regional Forum in Chicago in February!
The extraordinary sessions developed by the membership with the leadership of Jon McGee, vice president of planning and public affairs at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, and Mary Hill, director of college counseling and academic planning at St. Paul Academy and Summit School, were provocative and insightful.
One of the highlights of this year’s gathering was the recognition of Joyce Brown, former director of secondary school counselors at Chicago Public Schools, with the Distinguished Service Award. Brown’s contributions locally, regionally and nationally to the community of counselors and to students can hardly be duly recognized with one award, but we were honored to have the opportunity to put the spotlight on her extraordinary career and lifelong commitment to the success of all children.
These experiences are precisely what we at the College Board strive to support and provide for the membership. If you attended the regional forum this year, again, thank you. If you didn’t, please consider joining us next year at the 2013 Midwestern Regional Forum, being held Feb. 10–12 in Chicago.
