Dear Colleague in Catholic Education,

As Catholic school leaders you and we, as Partners in Mission, spend every waking hour these days seeking the best path forward through a multitude of roles and responsibilities. You are likely focused in supporting your faculty and staff, students and parents, key donors and Board members while wrestling with budgets, enrollment and fund raising realities and projections.

At the same time, the Partners in Mission team of some twenty-two proven professionals spend every waking hour focused on providing our collective learned wisdom and insight in supporting and coaching dozens of current client schools and Dioceses through their toughest leadership, enrollment, fund raising and forward planning situations while extending guidance to hundreds of other schools across the country in a variety of ways.

After considerable discussion and planning among our team in seeking how we can most effectively serve Catholic school leaders in an affordable manner, we are pleased to offer:

2020 National Advancement Summer Institute for Catholic Schools

Recent times have taught us that our daily lives can change in an instant. We pray that you, your faculty, staff, administration, students, parents, alumni and friends are persevering through these tough times, remaining healthy and gaining strength by caring for each other.

As this Covid-19 pandemic ripples through every aspect of our lives, federal and state governments, as you know, continue to take action to protect us and to help stop the spread. It is no surprise that our schools around the country are closed.

Even so, we at Partners in Mission remain hopeful that, by summer, life will return to a "new normal." While we have delayed mailing our National Advancement Summer Institute for Catholic Schools invitations, at this point, we are planning still to hold our June conferences in Boston from June 21 to June 25. Both the Advancement Conference AND the Enrollment Management Conferences will have special emphasis on enrollment management and advancement initiatives within the context of this challenging public health crisis.

While we remain hopeful, we recognize that there isa possibility that the June Summer Institute may need to be re-scheduled. As such, please also make note of the July and August "re-schedule" dates, should we need to postpone this event.

Sunday, July 26 to Thursday, July 30, 2020 or Sunday, August 16 to August 20, 2020

Once we turn the corner, we will mail the conference brochure. Please consider attending this year's Partners in Mission June Summer Institute. It is more important than ever before to learn from one another and to lend support. Together, we are all stronger.

Our very best wishes to you for continued faith, hope and good health.

Tom Brodnicki, one of our Senior Partners, wrote an article entitled "Keeping Our Promise" which was featured in the March 2020 edition of NCEA's Momentum Magazine. The article features St. Jerome School in Tamaqua, PA where Partners in Mission's Kathy Link has provided excellent leadership and guidance in the area of enrollment and retention.
