Program Information

The 2025 LEA National  Administrators Conference under the theme "Safe Anchor" will be highlighted by three key areas of focus:  Emotional and Mental Well-being; Emerging Pathways; and Physical Safety and Security.  Each sub-theme will be kicked off with a keynote presentation by a noted expert in the field.  A total of 16 sectionals will allow you to explore a wide variety of related topics.  Worship, great food, an extensive exhibit area, and a special afternoon visit to Concordia University Irvine are just some of the highlights you will experience.  We are also making available some pre- and post- conference trips to visit area Lutheran schools.
