State & Provincial SUBDIVISIONS

State Conferences and Events

Are you seeking a premier state or regional event tailored for special education leaders? Look no further! Our CASE State Subdivision offers a variety of opportunities designed to inspire, inform, and empower educational leaders like you. These events are more than just professional gatherings—they’re a chance to connect with like-minded peers, dive deep into current trends, and gain actionable insights to enhance outcomes for students with disabilities. 
 
State Conference and Event Details 
 
CASE staff is pleased to support and attend state and provincial subdivision conferences upon request and staff availability. Staff can provide keynote presentations, a CASE membership/publications booth, targeted breakout sessions, or other needs as applicable. Subdivisions are asked to provide CASE booth, travel, and lodging expenses. Subdivisions may choose to submit an honorarium to the CASE office, but this is not required! If interested in scheduling with CASE staff, contact information can be found at this link.
 

CASE is also pleased to promote state and provincial subdivision conferences in the weekly CASE Member Update!  Please share event information with Dr. Brigid Bright, CASE Associate Executive Director, at [email protected].

Subdivision Presidents and Executive Directors Monthly Zoom

A subdivision presidents and executive directors Zoom call is held on the third Thursday of each month from 6:00 pm-7:00 pm (CT) to share the latest information from CASE, highlight important happenings in special education, and support state and provincial subdivision leadership. For more information, please contact Debbi Magnifico at [email protected]
