Day School Leaders to Gather in Los Angeles
A Follow-up to January’s Unprecedented Success

Building on the momentum begun in January 2010 at the first North American Jewish Day School Conference, the “quartet” of PARDeS, Solomon Schechter Day School Association, the University-School Partnership at Yeshiva University, and RAVSAK will again convene Jewish day school leaders from across North America and across the spectrum of Jewish life for an extraordinary 3-day conference on education and school leadership.

This convening promises to be a professional development opportunity like no other, with intensive focus on the unique value proposition of day schools: ensuring a vibrant Jewish future through Jewish literacy, commitments, and values.

Hotel information and a timeline for registration are now available at jewishdayschoolconference.org where you can also find a detailed hour-by-hour schedule for each of the three days.

Also, see the Save-the-Date Flyer.

At the next full Consortium meeting, we will have the opportunity to review the finalists for the Branding and Marketing Project, who will have been selected on the meeting on May 11th. All participants will work together to reach a consensus and build enthusiasm for this exciting initiative, which is about to move to the next stage of implementation after many months of discussion, deliberation and planning.
