Thank you to all of the education support professionals and IEA staff who joined us tonight on our April rESPect Campaign steering meeting.

I’m not sure exactly how many we had on the Zoom meeting tonight, but we had a lot of first time attendees which is extremely exciting!

Great work is happening here in Illinois to support the amazing support staff who keep our schools running!
