We hope you can join us at the 2015 NCEA Catholic Leadership Summit that will be held at the Sheraton Atlanta from October 18-21, 2015.

Formerly known as the CACE meeting, the NCEA Catholic Leadership Summit is open to all NCEA members who are arch/diocesan leaders who serve Catholic schools and CHESCS members.  Breakout sessions will focus on diocesan-level topics related to the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary & Secondary Schools (Mission & Catholic Identity, Academic Excellence, Leadership & Governance and Operational Vitality).  These sessions will be presented in a variety of formats by knowledgeable presenters who were chosen by a review panel made of current superintendents and associate superintendents in consultation with the NCEA staff.  We are pleased to share with you the preliminary program, now available to view online.

Early bird registration has been extended one week!  Register by September 11, 2015 for this year’s meeting to lock in this special rate.  Our meeting is open to all arch/diocesan personnel who serve Catholic schools, including superintendents, associate superintendents and assistant superintendents, as well as CHESCS members.  We encourage you to bring a team from your diocese.

Now is also the time to book your accommodations for the Summit!  The group rate is available until September 16, 2015 or until all rooms are reserved.  Click here to reserve your space today.

Please also mark your calendars for The Superintendent Academy on October 17 and 18.  The Academy provides innovative, timely and relevant information and practices for  superintendents, associate superintendents, and assistant superintendents in Catholic education.  While the Academy focuses primarily on new or nearly new diocesan leaders, it is also an excellent professional development opportunity for aspiring superintendents and seasoned veterans in need of a refresher.  This year’s academy is centered around the superintendency and the four domains of the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary & Secondary Schools.  The sessions offered at the Superintendent’s Academy will be led by superintendents and associate superintendents from around the United States.  Take a moment to register for this professional development opportunity. A preliminary agenda for the Academy is available here.

The NCEA Catholic Leadership Summit provides wonderful opportunities to interact, as well as to learn with and from your colleagues across the country, while participating in professional development, prayer, and networking opportunities.  Please take some time to examine this year’s offerings for both the Superintendent’s Academy and the Catholic Leadership Summit. On behalf of the NCEA team, we hope that you will be able to join us in Atlanta!
