Letter from the CEA President

 

As you enter the busyness of springtime and the end of the school year, I want to update you on what the CEA is up to and point you to next fall and our convention.  We have reviewed your feedback and discussed at length what makes our convention worthwhile and what should be changed.  Thank you for your valuable input!

 

One area of feedback had to do with the scheduling of dates regarding when our
convention is held.  Unless there are circumstances beyond our control (like this year), we are committed to making convention dates that are consistent and fit the needs of the majority of our members.  Convention sites also continue to be researched and discussed.  After the 2013 convention in South Bend we are planning to hold our 2014 convention at the Holland Christian campus along with a neighboring church facility.  We also are looking at Trinity Christian College as a future site.

Letter From the CEA President

Grace and peace to each of you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

While it has been nearly 6 months since our last convention, your CEA Board has been hard at work preparing for the next one, October 22 and 23, 2009.  Part of our preparation is to look back at the comments made about 2008 and act on them.   Thank you to the many who did in fact share good ideas, helpful observations and encouragement about CEA 2008.
