"The 2022 Convention was a huge success. The keynote speakers and breakout sessions were informative as well as relevant. If your school is considering attending any future conference, CECU provides the most return on investment from an educational, networking and value perspective! I would highly recommend you add this event to your 2023 schedule.
​You’ll be glad you did!​"
- Allen Mortham, Jr., FAPSC
"The Emerging Leaders Reception has got to be one of my highlights. I was able to connect and learn from other leaders in our sector who were both resourceful and informative. This group will be a pivotal resource as we continue to navigate change and look toward new ideas to support our students."
