LEALEA Convocation 2016

SAVE THE DATE

 

October 13-15, 2016
Grand Rapids, MI


 

Your opportunity to connect with over 3,000 Lutheran school teachers and administrators from across the USA and several other countries is coming to Grand Rapids, Michigan October 13-15, 2016.  This may sound like it is a long time away, but I wanted to be sure you got this major event onto your calendar NOW.  The LEA Convocation comes only once every three years and you won't want to miss it!

 

The exhibit hall will accommodate some 200 10x10 booths.  Past exhibitors have been very happy with their traffic over two full days of the trade show.  Plan now to be with us!  Check out the Convocation website  for more information and updates.

 

Further details about how you can sign up will be available this summer.  In the meantime, feel free to call or write if you have any questions.
