Who Should AttendSuperintendents and Assistant Superintendents, Presidents, Principals, Pastors, Board Members, Directors of Advancement, Advancement and Admissions Team Members are all invited to be with us in sunny Naples, FL for our "National Leadership Conference for Catholic Schools" What About AirfaresUnbelievable airfares are still available from most cities in the US on flights to/from Fort Myers Airport (RSW) in sunny southwest Florida. Be sure to visit Jet Blue, Southwest, Delta, Continental, US Airways, Airtran and others for the best rates. Program Overview Every successful investor knows that lasting success for any organization or institution ultimately depends upon vibrant and dynamic leadership. Both research and experience show that successful Catholic School leadership invariably begins with an exceptionally high-quality relationship between the Head of School and his or her Director of Advancement – “the ultimate strategic relationship,” working together to advance the Catholic school’s mission of excellence in transforming young lives in and through Christ.
The Conference offers attendees the opportunity for intensive peer interaction to learn from experienced Presidents, Principals and Directors of Advancement, and help galvanize your professional development action plans.
The LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort in Naples, Florida provides the perfect setting for this highly concentrated Conference – a relaxing environment conducive to discussion and reflection – the perfect complement to a full, dynamic Conference program. Attendees can expect to come away renewed, focused and inspired to begin a new chapter in their career and in their relationships.
While with us in Florida, we hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to host a reception and visit with your wintertime and Florida based alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni and friends of your school. In fact, if you wish, you are welcome to bring members of your Board to the conference.
