4) More time for conversations and connections.

We received very positive feedback about the extended conference schedule last year, so it's back again. We'll have speakers, workshops, and invitation-only training programs on Tuesday, November 6, so please make your travel plans accordingly. And we've once again set aside a block of time within the conference for Grab and Gab sessions - lightly structured time at lunch that will allow you to connect with your peers on specific topics.

5) Kick-off of Professional Development Programs

New cohorts of JTEC, the Enrollment Program, and the Camp Legacy Initiative will also be kicking off at the conference. And a brand new course for Board Chairs and Vice Chairs (LEAP) will be starting soon, too. If you or someone at your camp is interested in these programs, please find more information about these programs on our website.

We look forward to welcoming you and more than 400 other Jewish Camp leaders to the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel in November this year.
