	TABLE OFFICERS
Jennifer Greigson President	I have been involved with MCEC for 10 years, first as an education student at Brandon University, followed by a few years on the Communications Action Team, then as Vice-President and Conference Co-Chair, and now President. In my current career role, I work as a Learning Support Teacher and Guidance Counsellor with the Interlake School Division. I truly appreciate how my involvement with MCEC over the years has supported and benefitted my personal and professional growth through providing access to high-quality learning opportunities and working with a strong network of fantastic educators. Being part of this organization that works hard to support students with exceptionalities and the families and educators who care so much about them is inspiring and rewarding!

Teresa Yestrau Yes I Can! Chair	I have been a member of MCEC for many years and have served a multitude of roles within the organization. This organization has allowed me to learn alongside colleagues at a provincial, national and international level which has enhanced my experience with the field of student services. After retiring from Seine River School Division, I am excited to be back with MCEC in the role of Yes I Can! Chair. This is a role that is close to my heart as it is where we all get to celebrate the amazing students who have worked so hard to achieve their goals and for the professionals who guide them on the way to those achievements.
