NCEA 2019 CONVENTION & EXPO - APRIL 23-25 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MCCORMICK PLACE WEST - CHICAGO 2019
Dear Catholic School Educator:

 The NCEA 2019 Convention & Expo that will take place April 23-25, 2019, at McCormick Place
 West in Chicago IL. We are excited to be returning to the Windy City after 30 years.

 There is nothing like seeing thousands of Catholic school educators come together to celebrate
 the gift and impact of Catholic school education to the country, and we are expecting this coming
 convention to be one of biggest gatherings that we have had in several years. As the largest,
 private-education association gathering in the world, NCEA 2019 is the perfect time and place for
 you to connect with others, acquire new knowledge and experience and witness our Holy Father’s
 calling of missionary discipleship. If you only attend one education event this year, this is the
 one.

 NCEA 2019 is about your professional growth and the growth of Catholic school education as a
 whole. In that spirit, by attending you will:

 •   Learn new teaching techniques and best practices from your peers from Catholic schools
     around the country
 •   Meet and network with new and lifelong colleagues
 •   Explore hundreds of teaching and schools resources available in our Expo Hall
 •   Grow in your faith and bear witness to the great gift of Catholic Schools

 On behalf of NCEA Board Chair the Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas, the NCEA Board of Directors and
 staff, along with Archbishop Blasé Joseph Cupich of Chicago and Dr. Jim Rigg, Superintendent
 of Schools, we hope that you will be able to join us and experience this unique professional
 development opportunity to grow in faith and knowledge and to celeb rate the great gift of
 Catholic school education. Hope to see you there!

 Sincerely yours in Christ,

 Thomas W. Burnford, D.Min.
 NCEA President/CEO

 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

          Welcome to the 2019 National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) Convention and
 Expo. Much has changed since 1989, the last time the convention was held in Chicago. We are still
 known as a city of "Big Shoulders" reaching out to newcomers, immigrants and visitors, but now
 we're also known for the Cloud Gate, a public sculpture at Millennium Park, or the "Bean" as many
 call it. On any given day, the stainless-steel structure reflects the diversity of our city as people from
 all over enjoy their reflection with the city’s skyline as a backdrop.

           The mission of Catholic education also endures here and is as critical as ever, not only for
 individuals, but for our society. By holistically educating students, Catholic schools are anchors for
 families and communities in teaching virtues, instilling values and cultivating an abiding appreciation
 for lifelong learning and faith formation. Most importantly, academic rigor coincides with fostering a
 commitment in students to put their faith into action as instruments of God's love, mercy and hope in
 a troubled and hurting world.

          As NCEA Board Chair for several years, its mission is near to my heart. Through my work
 with the NCEA and with over 200 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago, as well as my
 service on the Congregation for Catholic Education, I am continuously impressed by the
 commitment and faith of those who serve in Catholic schools. Your educational expertise, dedication
 and witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ are integral to the success of our schools and I thank you
 for all you do on behalf of our students.

          We are blessed by your presence here and hope your time together, as well as our dynamic
 city, inspire and energize you. If time permits, visit one of our schools and perhaps see the “Bean.”
 Be assured of my prayers for you and your essential work. I look forward to celebrating the
 Eucharist with you during the convention.

          Wishing you a blessed Easter season, I remain

                                                  Sincerely yours in Christ,

                                                  Archbishop of Chicago

Dear Friends of Catholic Schools,

Catholic education is an enormously rewarding and life-giving vocation. Each year, we
have the opportunity to positively impact the lives of millions of children and their
families across the country. We not only provide our students with the knowledge and
skills necessary for success, but we engender a relationship between each child and
Jesus Christ. Study after study has affirmed the transformational value of a Catholic
school education. Our efforts are changing lives, and instilling the hope that is so
desperately needed in today’s world.

The 2019 National Catholic Educational Association Convention & Expo provides us
with the opportunity to celebrate this hope. During the Convention & Expo, we gather
with thousands of Catholic educators from across our nation. We deepen our
knowledge of education, grow as a community of practitioners, and strengthen our own
faith. Christ reminds us that he is with us “Where two or three are gathered” in his
name. I know that Christ is ever-present among us at the 2019 Convention.

I could not be happier to welcome you to the City of Chicago! Chicago has a proud
tradition of hospitality and innovation. During your visit, I hope you have the opportunity
to see some of our numerous attractions. The McCormick Place Convention Center is
conveniently located near Chicago’s Museum Campus, and includes the world-
renowned Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and Field Museum. The heart of
downtown Chicago is only minutes away, featuring an abundance of cultural, athletic,
and culinary opportunities. While in Chicago, be certain to stroll along scenic Lake
Michigan, shop along the famous Magnificent Mile, and take an architectural tour. There
are innumerable ways to enjoy our city!

I am thrilled to welcome you to Chicago, and grateful that you have accepted the
vocation to Catholic education. May God continue to bless our efforts together!

Yours in Christ,

Jim Rigg, Ph.D.
Superintendent of Catholic Schools
Archdiocese of Chicago

NCEA 2019 Justification Letter

 Dear _____________________________________________________________________

 The NCEA 2019 Convention & Expo will take place April 23 – 25, 2019 McCormick
 Place West in Chicago, IL. This is the largest private-education gathering in the
 world, held in partnership with the Archdiocese of Chicago.

 Professional development and networking with fellow teacher-educators is
 imperative as I continue to grow as an educator. Attending this conference will
 not only help me build in those areas, I will also be able to meet directly with vendors and suppliers
 in the exhibit hall to identify new products and services that could help improve my profession and our
 school’s resources.

 I am seeking use of Title II-A for my registration fees and other travel-related expenses. As you
 are aware, Title II-A funds may be used to pay for the “secular, non-ideological” sessions that the
 participant attends. Funds may be used for registration as well as travel, lodging and other daily
 expenses.

 While there are over 300 professional development sessions to choose from, I hope to attend ________
 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
 because____________________________________________________________________________________________.
  Other topic areas include classroom management, co-curricular programs, curriculum and technology.
 The NCEA 2019 preliminary program lists all of the confirmed sessions as of September 18.

 Registration Fees for NCEA 2019 increase on January 1, 2019. I have detailed the cost breakdown
 below and estimate the cost of my attendance at _____________________________. I appreciate your
 support.

 Here is the breakdown of my NCEA 2019 attendance expenses:

 Airfare: _______________________________________________________________

 Transportation:  _______________________________________________________

 Hotel: ________________________________________________________________

 Meals:  _______________________________________________________________

 Convention Fee: ______________________________________________________

 Total estimated NCEA 2019 cost: ______________________________________

 Thank you,
