Message from the President – August 2022

Greetings, FLAVA Members!

It’s hard to believe that summer break is winding down and soon we will be returning to school. I hope each of you has taken time to rest and recharge this summer and are ready to start the 2022 – 2023 school year with renewed energy and enthusiasm!

Registration for FLAVA 2022 is now open! I am so excited to see each of you IN-PERSON at the DoubleTree Hotel in beautiful Williamsburg, VA. FLAVA 2022 will feature almost 200 sessions, an exhibit hall, and many social opportunities to reconnect with each other. This year I am so excited to welcome La Maestra Loca (Annabelle Williamson) as our Keynote Speaker. I had the honor and privilege to meet Annabelle at SCOLT 2019 when I served on the SCOLT Teacher of the Year Interview Panel. Annabelle is such an amazing educator, mentor, and human being. I know that Annabelle will help each one of us to recharge, reconnect and reflect.

All conference attendees who register by September 15, 2022 will receive breakfast on Friday, October 7, 2022 and lunch on Saturday, October 8, 2022. During the Saturday lunch, affiliate organizations will hold their annual meetings. You will not want to miss the Welcome Back Reception on Thursday, October 6, 2022, and the most epic FLAVA Karaoke and Talent Show with a bar on Friday, October 8, 2022. These events will be included in your conference registration.
