Biennial Conference 2010's professional and institutional development opportunities will support and strengthen you in the leadership and governance of your school, the articulation of its Episcopal identity, and your own professional and spiritual development. The program will offer you worship; keynote addresses; the opportunity to connect, engage, and share with your peers; and the ability to contribute to the growing body of knowledge and best practices about Episcopal school mission and ministry.

From Every Family, Language, People, and Nation (Rev. 5:9) will be our theme and speaks to the growing diversity and pluralism in our country and Church. How is it that Episcopal schools, as Christian communities, articulate their identities while welcoming, supporting, and entering into dialog with students and families of various faith traditions and cultures? What strategies and programs have proven successful? What are the areas of concern? How do we make Episcopal education truly accessible and welcoming to all who come to us? These are but a few of the theme-related questions we hope to examine in workshops, plenary session, and other gatherings.

We look forward to seeing you in the Lone Star State!
