CEA and event host Denise Andre, Director of Education and Secretary Treasurer for Ottawa Catholic District School Board invite school district leaders to participate in this year’s CEOs’ Forum, which will be taking place at the Andaz Hotel in Ottawa from May 24th – 26th 2017. The hotel is located in downtown Ottawa in the heart of the city’s iconic ByWard Market.

We are pleased to announce an engaging roster of discussion topics and case study presentations that will provide you with a first-hand pan-Canadian vantage point of the challenges and opportunities that your peers are facing in their school districts.

Case Study Presentations and Round Table Discussions on the following topics:

  • 2017 Cross-Country Check-up – sharing common challenges and initiatives that show promise
  • Leveraging Impactful Public and (Social) Media Relations for Your School District (working title)
  • High School Reform and its Impact
  • Indigenous Leadership Professional Model
  • What keeps CEOs up at night? Input from the participants dealing with operational areas of business
  • And more topics to come…

This was my first experience with the CEO Network Forum (definitely not my last) and perhaps some of the best PD I have had while a Director. Learning from others in such an intimate and honest atmosphere helped me appreciate the cross-Canada viewpoint immensely. I am taking away a number of great ideas and a number of wonderful contacts.

History of the CEOs’ Network Forum

The CEOs’ Network Forum began as a meeting of city superintendents and directors of education in 1961 to exchange ideas and experiences to gain country-wide perspectives. As the context of education became more complex and the role played by the provinces expanded, the Forum was enriched by the inclusion of leaders of all types of schools. Participants value this Forum for the opportunity it provides to conduct open and confidential conversations with peers, for the establishment of collegial relationships and a network of professional peers across the country.
