Engage Carolinas

Engage Carolinas is a combined effort by North and South Carolina Milken Educators to connect to each other and to host an annual free conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. At the conference, educators from both states can attend a variety of sessions presented by Milken Educators from North Carolina, South Carolina, and beyond.

The first annual conference was held in October 2023, and more than 20 Milken Educators attended and/or presented from six states (NC, SC, AL, TN, VA and ME). We have seen increased connections in our network due to the work of our retired Milken Educators, who have updated our contacts and reengaged MEAs across the state.

Our goal is to activate our Milken Educators within our own state to share valuable educational practices with new and veteran educators free of cost. We are leveraging the talents of our retired educators and our members’ expertise and building community support to create an inspiring learning experience for other educators.
