Passing: Former ITEEA President, George R. Wilcox DTE

It is with a sad heart that we inform you of the passing of George R. Willcox on Wednesday, March 30 in Richmond, VA.

​

George provided leadership and support for Technology and Engineering Education for 47 years before his retirement on December 31, 2021. He joined the Department of Education as the advisor for the Technology Student Association in 1978. He served as a supervisor of the Technology and Engineering Education program until his promotion in 2006. He recently served as State Director of Career, Technical, and Adult Education. It is difficult to describe the range of impact he had on Technology and Engineering education, adding engineering courses in the mid-1990s. He was active in TSA  and the International Technology and Engineering Educator’s Association, serving as president in 2006. He was also active in the Virginia Association of Career and Technical Education. He was a giant in the field and will be sorely missed.

​

He is survived by his daughter Angela Minor. Link to service information.
