CCA's 2003 Leadership Institute, held July 24 - July 29 at the National Conference Center in Landsdowne, VA, proved to be an extremely successful program. With an attendance of 36 participants and 16 experienced speakers, everyone walked away with new ideas and a rejuvenated spirit. All aspects of school administration were covered including: Business Planning, Leadership, Admissions, Education, Student Services, Retention, Financial Aid, Legal Issues, Placement, Teambuilding, and much, much more!

The attendees, with experience in proprietary education ranging from 25 years to brand new to the industry, came from as far away as California and Puerto Rico to make it to the annual 6-day "boot camp" for school directors and up-and-coming directors.

Heres what some attendees had to say about the experience.

"As a result of attending the Institute, I am re-focused and re-enthused."
Karen Finkenkeller, ITT Technical Institute, Earth City, MO

"I have learned more in six days here than my last six months back home."
Gregory A. Rosten, Aakers Business College, Fargo, ND

"It was a fantastic experience. After today (my school) has a new Director of Education, 6 days changed my professional life. Thanks to my boss that sent me.
Jose A. Gonzalez, Liceo de Arte y Tecnologia, Hato Rey, PR

"A great conference!"
Ron Hearns, National Institute of Technology, Houston, TX

This institute was the most phenomenal experience. As someone new to this industry, this program has equipped me with practical knowledge and understanding.
Dan Weiss, MedVance Institute, West Palm Beach, FL

Career college presidents and owners have already shown interest in sending their employees to next year's Institute. Since there is a limited number of spaces, it will be critical to register early. Promotional materials for the 2004 CCA Leadership Institute should be distributed in February. Watch for more details
