The LTEN member community is filled with professionals whose very nature is to invest in the development of others. Year after year, your peers have heeded the call to help — assembling care packages, stuffing backpacks, building bears, writing letters, and donating time and energy to the local charities supporting the most vulnerable within our communities.
With your support, we have helped military families and veterans, families experiencing homelessness, children, and pediatric patients through our conference collection drives. Here are just a few of the organizations we’ve supported in recent years and we look forward to continuing the good work in the years to come.
Thank you to our 2024 sponsors ACTO, Custom Learning Designs and Illuminate:
