Church & School Together in Ministry: A Leadership Lunch & Learn

Join us for an exceptional professional development opportunity sponsored by Thrivent and hosted by the ELEA National Board during their Spring meeting. We are honored to welcome featured speaker Becky Schmidt, whose distinguished career spans roles as teacher, director, principal, and director for schools. Currently serving as a coach and mentor for the Principal 360 program of CLEF (Chicagoland Lutheran Educational Foundation), Becky brings a wealth of experience in nurturing successful church and school partnerships.

This exclusive event brings congregational and school leaders (think-rostered leaders, council chairs, school board reps, directors, and principals) together to explore the vital connection between church and school ministry. Participants will engage in meaningful discussions and receive practical insights for strengthening their educational ministries.

As our honored guests, attendees will enjoy:
- Professional networking with educational leaders
