Trustee Education to Mission Conference
When?
October 25, Thursday, 5:00 p.m. to October 26, Friday, 5:00 p.m.
Annual Theme: How Do We Form Conscience and Build Character in Our Students?
Leadership is both an art and science informed by mission. Specifically, in our case of trustees of Schools of the Sacred Heart, this mission is infused by the values articulated in the Goals and Criteria. These principles are permeated by Saint Madeleine Sophie’s charism and the spirit of the Society of the Sacred Heart. As the stewards of that mission, Sacred Heart boards of trustees work in partnership with school leadership to ensure the continuity of the Sacred Heart educational mission, the best educational climate for today’s students and the sustainability of the schools for future generations. To this end, trustees gather every October in St. Charles for the Trustee Education to Mission Conference. This essential training equips trustees, chairs and heads with the skills, information and knowledge needed to be effective stewards of mission.
