VTEA History

The Virginia Technology Education Association became a reality in 1958 when a group of educators sought to promote their profession and to provide a state-wide forum for their ideas. Today, VTEA is a non-profit organization, 501(c)(3), governed by a Board of Directors and represents more than one thousand Virginia educators.  It sponsors regional programs for teachers, supports activities for the Technology Student Association, encourages the Technology Education Collegiate Association, provides a quarterly publication, conducts an annual staff development conference for teachers, and continues to advance work for the profession.  The VTEA also encompasses three councils: The Virginia Council on Technology Teacher Education (VCTTE), the Virginia Council on Technology Education Supervision (VCTES), and the Virginia Children's Engineering Council (VCEC).
