President’s Note
Greetings from Ohio!
Your President-Elect, Scott Donald, NCTM, and I just enjoyed a wonderful weekend of inspiring sessions and networking with other state presidents and officers at the annual MTNA Summit for Leadership in Cincinnati. There are so many amazing things going on around the country, and I’ll try to share some of the best highlights over the next few newsletters. For now, here are a couple of the most timely bits of information.
Early registration for the MTNA Conference is open, and you can lock in your discounted rate by December 5! We are going to Reno, NV this year, at the Nugget Casino Resort, from March 25-29. If you don’t already know, Reno and the Lake Tahoe area feature some of the most beautiful scenery in the country…this is a great chance to plan a combination vacation/business trip! And, one of the perks of staying at a casino is a MUCH lower room rate than normal. Single rooms are only $119/night. For those with smoke sensitivity, we’ve been assured that the pathway from the hotel rooms to the meeting rooms and everything in between is completely separate from the actual casino areas, so we won’t have to enter smoke-filled rooms.
Second, there are some important changes to the Office Depot discount program that I know many of us use regularly. To purchase/order you will now need to follow these steps in order: First, register for the discount program through www.officediscounts.org/MTNA. Second, use the “ODP Business Solutions” app or go through www.odpbusiness.com to order – DO NOT go through the Office Depot website! Please note that you will receive a larger discount by ordering online than you will with traditional “walk-in” store shopping.
There’s much more to share…you should be assured that MTNA is a very strong, active association with talented, dedicated leaders all over the country. And you can be proud that our peers are continually amazed at the achievements of our Texas teachers and students - and our incredible conference!
In service to you all,
Richard
