M. Antwan Campbell, MPA, Ed:K-12 Region II Representative

Hello RID, I am M. Antwan Campbell, your Region II Representative.

I am really excited to give our Region II Conference report. Our conference was held on June 2122 and it was a huge success! We made a profit from this conference which helped build our Region II account. We had a lot of really great presenters and topics at the conference, but it would not have been a success without our sponsors and all of you who participated and supported the conference. I would also like to recognize the Region II AC presidents who helped, as well as a HUGE shout out to the NCRID board who served as our host for this conference. We had representation from 27 states across the US. We were able to give a donation to HEARD. Again to all of the presenters and supporters who came to the Region II Conference, I want to say THANK YOU!!!

Jessica Eubank, NIC Region IV Representative

Hello everyone, I am Jessica Eubank, your Region IV rep! We are currently in the midst of conference season in the Region, and while there is not a Region IV conference in 2024, we have had a few fantastic conferences recently occur and are looking forward to several more.

I had the pleasure of recently attending the OKRID biennial conference “Come Grow with Us”. It was my first time visiting Oklahoma and I had a wonderful time meeting OKRID members and learning more about the community there, as well as enhancing my own professional development. I was also able to provide a report on the current RID events during the membership meeting. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the OKRID board and members for your warm welcome, and to everyone who was involved in the planning - congratulations on a successful conference! For more information about the conference please see the OKRID update below
