National Conference for Latino Educational Leaders: Realizing the Vision

October 28-30, 2004 SwissĂ´tel Chicago Chicago, Illinois

We extend to you an invitation and challenge to attend the first national
conference of the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents
(ALAS). The focus is on developing, networking and recognizing the
leadership talent of Latino educators across the country.

Today the need for Latino leaders in education is more critical than ever. By
the year 2025, Latino children will make up 25 percent of the school-age
population. In the nation's largest states - California Texas, Florida, and New
York - Latinos already have reached that level. Prepared and committed
Latinos are needed to lead our schools and to effectively serve our children,
parents and communities.

The challenge we issue is for current administrators to bring and mentor a
future administrator. During the conference, there will be workshops and
training sessions for the experienced superintendent and the administrator
aspiring to become a superintendent. There will also be ample opportunity to
share your experiences, ideas and energy. The many subjects to be
addressed reflect the challenges Latino administrators are facing, and the
growing complexities of the educational system, as well as focusing on
serving the Latino student.

You'll learn how to further develop your leadership skills, and you'll see how
experienced superintendents grapple firsthand with difficult political climates.
And you'll find out how Latino educators have learned how to move ahead. In
addition, ALAS will offer sessions around the topic of "Becoming A
Superintendent". These sessions will provide you with valuable insight on the
superintendency, including "The Superintendent Application and Search
Process," "Professional Standards for the Superintendency," "Development of
the Superintendent Contract", "Women in the Superintendency," and "Building
a Strong Superintendent and Board Team."

We believe that you will find the quality of this conference to be extraordinary.
We are confident that you will be revitalized, inspired and better able to lead.
Register today, on-line, by phone, or by mail. We look forward to seeing you
on October 28th, 29th and 30th in Chicago!
