Join the Texas AFT Bridges Institute at the Sterling Country Club on Thursday, November 12 from 6-9 p.m. for an inspiring evening celebrating the people who make the future of public education possible: our educators.Bridges to the Future is the inaugural fundraising dinner benefiting the Texas AFT Bridges Institute, an organization dedicated to developing, supporting, and empowering Texas public school employees through high-quality professional learning, leadership development, and pathways for professional growth.
This special evening will also recognize an extraordinary group of educators completing our alternative teacher certification program in Cy-Fair ISD. Their achievement represents more than the completion of a program—it marks the beginning of careers that will influence thousands of students, families, and communities for years to come. We want to thank our partners and supporters: Texas AFT, Cy-Fair AFT, iTeach, members, and facilitators.
