Over the years, the CCE conference attendees have modeled what it is to be a community through presenting peer-to-peer learning opportunities and engaging with a broad group of caring professionals and stakeholders. As practitioners, we are the closest to the issues and problems we and our students and organizations are facing, so we can be the closest to the solutions by working together. It's critical we address how our education ecosystem needs to evolve to meet the challenges of today and those of tomorrow.
