On March 6, the Senate CTE Caucus hosted a reception on Capitol Hill to coincide with ACTE's annual National Policy Seminar. This year, students from seven CTSOs participated and spoke to NPS attendees, congressional staff and policymakers. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Todd Young (R-IN) both attended the reception, spoke with students and gave remarks. Representative Dave Loebsack (D-IA) also attended
Each CTSO had a table where they shared some of their work. Presentations varied widely, and included things like pig lungs, sensors to measure moisture in sugar, gas pumps and more. The CTSO students were from Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia. The participating CTSOs were:
- DECA
- Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)
- Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL)
- HOSA-Future Health Professionals
- National FFA Organization
- SkillsUSA
- Technology Student Association (TSA)
Next year's National Policy Seminar will take place from March 25-27, with a Capitol Hill Reception on Tuesday, March 26, 2019. It will be the fifth anniversary of the Senate CTE Caucus and it is not to be missed! We hope you can join us at NPS 2019!
