This dynamic event brings OBEA members together with CTSO chapter officers and advisors for leadership training, professional development sessions, advisor-focused workshops, and valuable industry networking opportunities. With affordable registration, scholarships available, and free advisor attendance with student registration, ACE is designed to strengthen chapter leadership and elevate CTE and CTSO success statewide.
