THE PURPOSE AND MISSION OF
THE ILLINOIS COUNCIL FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN
  Last August, members of ICEC met for the purpose of developing a strategic plan that aligned with CEC while providing clear direction for the Illinois members for the next 3-5 years.  With this goal in mind, the executive board met for two days with Cindy L. Beutke with Leadership Results, Inc., and set out to reflect, review and establish a solid strategic direction for ICEC.  After much collaboration and discussion, a revised purpose, values, vision, and mission were developed.  
 

The purpose of ICEC is to empower our members to be leaders in advocacy, best practice, and sharing information that benefits individuals with exceptionalities.

The values of ICEC are:

  • Commitment to advocating for individuals with exceptionalities
  • Encourage diversity
  • Open honest and direct communication
  • Engage in professional excellence, integrity and accountability

The vision of ICEC is a diverse, dynamic and innovative professional community collaborating with others to ensure that individuals with exceptionalities are valued & included in all aspects of life.  ICEC is an influential force in shaping educational policy and practice in the state of Illinois and is recognized for its expertise and leadership.  ICEC is the states premier organization focusing on education for individuals with exceptionalities.

The mission of ICEC is to meet the needs of our members by providing professional development, advocacy, networking, and information sharing to improve the quality of life for individuals with exceptionalities and their families.

With this in mind, ICEC is now in the process of developing a Tactical Goal Action Plan that will further the strategic plan in a direction that will bring this organization into the future for the benefit of all its members, as well as the families and students we serve.
