Next Week's Program
Michelle Ausley, Work-Based Learning & Youth Apprenticeship Coordinator

Michelle is the Work-Based Learning Coordinator for Thomas County Schools. She serves junior and senior high school students to coordinate work site placements, related to the student's career pathway. The program provides guidance and encouragement to students interested in learning work tasks and job responsibilities. She has been teaching at Thomas County Central High School since 2009. She is also an adviser for TCCHS FBLA program. Her goal as Work-Based Learning Coordinator is to provide the best learning environment possible so that they can become successful business men and women with a competitive edge for the global marketplace.

On August 8, 2016, Michele was awarded the title of "top Gun SBL Educator" through a partnership between the Georgia Department of Education's Career, Technical and Agricultural Education division; the Career, Technical and Agricultural Education Resource Network and the Work-Based Learning/Youth Apprenticeship Affiliate of the Georgia Association for Career and Technical Education. The three organizations teamed up to sponsor a unique staff developing training for WBL coordinators who have excelled in a specified set of performance criteria. Twenty teachers/WBL coordinators were invited to attend the Top Gun training, representing all regions of the state. During the training, participants were awarded points for their performance in group activities and the quality of the documents they created. In 2016, Michele Ausley home took the title.

Why Incorporate?
District Governor Alec making the case for incorporating District 6900

Here is a short video (6 minutes), DG Alec urges every member to watch it and for us to consult an attorney that we trust. I am pretty sure that we will be getting more information in the coming days, on "why not to incorporate District 6900". I will be passing that information as well, as soon as I receive it.

NEXT WEEK'S PROGRAM
Dale Jackson, Co-Founder with Hope United

Guest Speaker | Dale Jackson, Co-Founder with Hope United, a group that advocates the use of medical cannabis oil.

Dale Jackson never thought he would support legalizing marijuana. He says he's actually never seen or smoked it before until he realized cannabis oil was the medical solution to help ease some of his autistic son's pain.
