SUMMARY:NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference

To register\, you should talk to your local and/or county association president. \nLocal and county association presidents will receive registration brochures with detailed information about the 2026 NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference (SLC). You should consult the SLC brochure and/or contact your local president for details on lodging\, daily schedules\, accommodations for members with special needs and registration procedures. Each SLC session has its own registration link\, so please be sure to select the correct link(s). If you plan to attend both Session I and Session II\, you must register for each session separately by selecting the corresponding links. \nIf your association will be covering the cost of your participation at SLC\, you should speak with your local and/or county association president before completing your online registration. \nMost workshops offer 7.5 hours of training. Now That I’m President\, What Do I Do? is an extended workshop providing additional training time for new presidents. \nIf you are an NJEA member\, you are eligible and encouraged to attend. You will find topics among the 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. \nThere are two three-day program options: \n\nWorkshop I – Aug. 1-3 (Saturday to Monday)\nWorkshop II – Aug. 3-5 (Monday to Wednesday)\n\nNot all of the workshops are offered in each workshop period. The workshop descriptions indicate when each program is scheduled. To accommodate educational support  professional members (ESP) who may wish to limit use of vacation or personal time\, Workshop #25 is scheduled from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. \nFor all other workshops\, registration opens on Day One at 1 p.m. The opening session begins at 3 p.m. The conference concludes on Day Three with a brunch served at 10:30 a.m. following the final workshop session. \nThis year’s summer leadership conference will take place at Harrah’s Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Since the conference is dedicated to developing association advocate representatives\, no professional development credit is given for attendance in any workshop. \nSpecial needs\nIf you have a special physical or communication need or disability that may require assistance or accommodations\, or if you have any questions or concerns about housing arrangements\, please contact NJEA at slc@njea.org or at 609-599-4594\, ext. 2270 by June 1. \nScholarships\nScholarships are available for first-time attendees.

It is recommended that checks be mailed no later than three days after registering online and must include copies of the confirmation email or receipt. Checks mailed without an accompanying list of attendee names will result in delayed registration confirmations until the names are provided. All registrations are pending until the conference registrar has been notified that the check has cleared. If the conference reaches capacity\, a refund will be issued. \nWhich workshop(s) should I take?\nWhether 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\, this page lists various association roles followed by workshops that may be beneficial for each position. \nBeing 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\nleadership roles. Please note that not all advocacy workshops are offered at the 2026 SLC. Some may be available at other conferences throughout the year. These courses are listed in no particular order and are not mandatory to serve in any position.
