COUNTDOWN TO OUR BIRTHDAY CONTINUES
The countdown continues as we gear up for ASTEF’s 10th Birthday. Much is owed to the Founding Directors for their dedication and commitment to making ASTEF a reality. Let’s take a look now as Founding Director (ex-officio) Betty Vines shares her reflections on the beginning of ASTEF.
As the Founding Directors worked to create the Foundation many items had to be considered. One of these was the possibility of awarding project stipends to chapters and members in Texas who had or wanted to start a project that would impact Texas students, children, and educators.
Thanks to their work, the very first stipends were awarded in 2012! A total of $1,000 was awarded to 6 chapters. Since this time ASTEF has awarded a total of $178,091 to deserving chapters and individual members. Do you, your chapter, or even your area have a project that needs assistance? Consider applying for a Project Stipend. The deadline is April 1 and the application and guidelines are under the Forms tab. Listen now to Theta Zeta, one of the first chapters to receive a project stipend, as they reflect on the three major areas supported by ASTEF! Please keep in mind, these videos were made with love and care by members across the state. Remember, that while we are professionals, we are not professional film makers. So please, overlook our imperfections and focus on our message.
Thank you to YOU- the members- who help make ASTEF’s mission possible through your commitment to the advancement of ASTEF-Your Foundation- not only during the convention but all year long.
