2023 January Voice-DESKTOP-R9A0RSL

President Ron Gerhardstein from Page 5 you well through the process. One way to energize our teaching practice, and a place to learn and grow with like-minded friends and colleagues is to attend the NAfME-NW Division Confer - ence in Bellevue. The conference is sure to be just what we need. A space for inspiration. A place to reconnect. And, an opportunity for learning and growth. I am look - ing forward to seeing you there! Wishing you all the best in the year to come, Ron

The cost for running All-State increases each year, no matter where it is held. YME has provided enough support to keep pace enough to moderate the rising fees, but this was not the initial intention of the fund program. The inten - tion was to reduce or eliminate the fees. Eliminating the fees while providing a world class experience was always the goal. YME reduces about 17% of the overall cost of All State and provides approximately $17,000 each year to individual families who need help with the fees. All-State students never forget their expereince. Let’s make sure all deserving student can have this option.
