CEC 2009 Convention & Expo
Highlights
Learning, Networking, and
Fun!
At the CEC 2009 Convention & Expo in Seattle, participants had over
900 information-packed sessions to choose from. Everywhere you turned
there was the opportunity to network with the “who’s
who” in special education. Hundreds of exhibitors displayed the
newest publications, products, and services. The Career Center was abuzz
with students interviewing for their first job. The Student Forum was
packed with tips and ideas for getting the most out of your CEC
membership.
Another Successful
Fundraiser
The Student Scholarship and Award Fundraiser was a huge success
thanks to the 309 members and their friends who joined us for an evening
cruise on the Royal Argosy. After a delicious dinner, we
enjoyed the incredible views of Seattle, Elliott Bay, and Puget Sound
and packed the dance floor to work off some calories. Thank you to
everyone who purchased a ticket or made a donation!

Thanks to all 53 CEC Student Chapter Faculty Advisors who

And The Envelope Goes To …
Our thanks to the many members who helped make this a wonderful
convention for students: Wendy Ehrensberger, Julie Fee, Craig Miner, and
Cynthia Simpson for their presentations at the Student Chapter Faculty
Advisors’ Roundtable; Marilyn Friend and the panelists and poster

An Extra Special Thank You
The Student Committee extends its heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Kathleen

Department. Dr. Fearn-Banks is the daughter of Kayte Fearn, who the CEC
Ethnic Diversity Scholarship is named for and given in honor of. Dr.
