We are planning the 2022 CEA Convention and looking forward to joining with you in South Bend, IN on October 20 and 21, 2022.

South Bend Hotels
The hotel information is being finalized and will be sent to you the 2nd week of May.
CEA Non-Faculty Staff
We are offering a new membership option at the CEA Convention for Non-Faculty Staff. This includes your school's office staff, development staff and board members. We are offering two sessions on Friday specifically for non-faculty staff titled School Marketing in Action and School Marketing: How Do I Do That? Non-Faculty Staff will be able to attend on Friday only for a reduced membership fee. This membership will be reserved directly with Brenda VanderPloeg and will not be a part of your school's staff membership list which is submitted in the fall. Please contact Mrs. Brenda VanderPloeg (cea@ceateachers.org) for more information.
CEA Session Presenter
Do you have something exciting, innovative or special that you do at your grade or in your school? We love it when our fellow CEA members share the ways they provide excellent reformed education. If you were thinking about presenting a session, now is the time for action. We have just a few presenting slots left available and the sign up window for presentations will close in 2 weeks. Would you like to present on your own or with a partner or a small group? Contact Mrs. Brenda VanderPloeg today. (cea@ceateachers.org)
