Gain inspiration, knowledge, and the resources you need!
The Vendor Fair Un-Conference provides LEA and ESC personnel with the inspiration, knowledge, and resources they need to be successful in identifying resources for their federal grant responsibilities and district activities related to:
- Parent and Family Engagement (PFE),
- McKinney-Vento for students,
- families experiencing homelessness and
- students and families involved in Foster Care or working with the Department of Family and Protective Services.
One primary goal of the event is to provide participants with resources and vendors to assist them in meeting the objectives identified in their recent Comprehensive, Combined Needs Assessment (CCNA) and their drafted District or Campus Improvement Plans.
Our keynote speakers are:
- Jeff Nash, President of the American Association of School Customer Service. “Jeff Nash is nationally known as the school customer service guy.” He is the author of two best-selling books, Rock ‘N Roll Customer Service and The Friendly School: A Front Office Guide to Excellent Customer Service.
- Gabe Salazar, a teen expert and motivational speaker, overcame obstacles of homelessness, hopelessness, and gang influence to become the first in his family to go to college.
We will also have vendors who focus on providing tools and resources for education personnel to support students, parents, families, and communities in the areas mentioned above.
