You will find topics among the 32 workshop offerings that will prepare you for your current or future roles\, sharpen your leadership skills\, and show you how your local can develop to its full-functioning capacity. \n\n\n\n\n Session I – July 27-29 (Saturday to Monday) \n Session II – July 29-31 (Monday to Wednesday) \n\n\n\n\nNot all of the 32 workshops are offered in each workshop period. The workshop descriptions provided on the following pages indicate when any given program is scheduled. To accommodate educational support professional members (ESP) who may wish to limit use of vacation or personal time\, Workshop Number 22 runs from Friday evening\, July 26 to Sunday afternoon\, July 28. \n\n\n\nFor all other workshops\, registration begins on Day One at 1 p.m. The opening session commences at 3 p.m. Day Three ends with a brunch\, which is served at 10:30 a.m. following the final workshop session. \n\n\n\nThis year’s Summer Leadership Conference will take place at Harrah’s Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. The conference is dedicated to developing association advocate representatives. Accordingly\, no professional development credit is given for attendance in any seminar. \n\n\n\nHow do I register?\n\n\n\nThe purpose of this article is to alert members to this training opportunity and describe the workshop programs available this year\, but to register you need to talk to your local and/or county association president.  \n\n\n\nLocal and county association presidents will receive registration brochures with detailed information on the 2024 NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference. You must contact your local president and consult that brochure to learn more about lodging\, daily schedules\, accommodations for members with special needs\, and registration. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial needs\n\n\n\nIf you have a special physical or communication need or other disability that may require assistance or accommodations to permit or facilitate your attendance and participation\, or if you have any questions or concerns about housing arrangements\, please contact NJEA by June 1 at slc@njea.org or at 609-599-4594\, ext. 2270. \n\n\n\nScholarships\n\n\n\nScholarships are available for first-time attendees. See your local and/or county president for more information. \n\n\n\nHealth and safety protocols\n\n\n\nSLC is planned to be an in-person conference this year. However\, all arrangements are subject to change in response to public health directives. Registrants will be notified of the health and safety protocols\, if any\, well before the conference so necessary precautions can be made to meet the requirements. \n\n\n\nPricing and payment\n\n\n\nConference costs for all attendees include workshop materials\, self-parking\, organized meals and coffee breaks\, entertainment\, taxes\, and service fees. Pricing for members staying overnight also includes hotel accommodations and taxes. \n\n\n\nThe pricing for all workshops\, except Workshop #1 is as follows: \n\n\n\n\nCommuter – $275 per session\nDouble Occupancy – $325 per session \n\n\nSingle Occupancy – $450 per session\n\n\n\n\nSince an additional training occurs in September for Workshop #1—Now That I’m President\, What Do I Do?—the costs are higher for it. Pricing for Workshop #1 is Commuter – $400; Double Occupancy – $500; Single Occupancy – $675. \n\n\n\nChecks must be made payable to “NJEA/SLC” and returned with registration material to: \nNJEA Summer Leadership Conference  c/o WSFS Bank  PO Box 13661  Philadelphia\, PA 19101-3661 \n\n\n\nPlease note that registrations and payments are mailed to the bank first where checks are deposited. Afterwards\, registration materials are sent to NJEA for processing. Therefore\, deposited checks should not be viewed as confirmation that a registration has been accepted and processed. If the conference is sold out\, a refund will be issued. \n\n\n\n Which workshop(s) should I take?\n\n\n\nNJEA offers many advocacy conferences with a large array of workshops. Selecting which to take can be a daunting task. Whether you are currently serving in a leadership position or you aspire to become involved in some capacity within your local association\, there are trainings that can help develop and hone your skills. To guide you\, positions within the association are listed on this page\, followed by workshops that would be beneficial to you. \n\n\n\nYou will discover that being an officer is not the only position within your association\, and there are opportunities to get involved in other ways. Additionally\, we have included a track for those exploring future leadership. Please note that not all of these workshops are offered at the Summer Leadership Conference and may be offered at other conferences throughout the year. These courses are not listed in any particular order and are not mandatory to serve in any position. Not all of the workshops offered at the Summer Leadership Conference are listed at the link above\, so please review the entire brochure before making your selection.
