State Units

Support for State & Provincial Units

Unit Conferences

CASE staff is pleased to support and attend state and provincial unit conferences upon request and staff availability. Staff can provide keynote presentations, a CASE membership/publications booth, targeted breakout sessions, or other needs as applicable. Units are asked to provide CASE booth, travel, and lodging expenses. Units 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 HERE.

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


Unit Presidents and Executive Directors Monthly Zoom

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