Conference Theme |

This year’s theme “Innovation through Leadership” addresses the question of what specifically needs to be done to improve the quality of leadership. The participants represent an interdisciplinary group of professionals who embrace vision, risk, and change. These qualities, coupled with the three major components of ethical, interdisciplinary, and international leadership are key elements for developing leadership. |
---|
The goals of the conference are to: 1) encourage, mentor and support new and upcoming leaders in diverse fields of interest, 2) improve leadership through collaboration, and 3) maintain a focus on humanistic values and ethical practices. We are interested in developing independent, innovative and creative thinkers. |
Delegates Attending |

Delegates attending the conference will be from academia, business, the military, and other disciplines, as well as government, political and civic leaders. We especially welcome Master’s and doctoral degree students representing all disciplines. Join us and share your ideas on leadership. |

Congratulations, once again, on your continuing commitment to excellence and to bringing together a diverse group of collaborators and partners. It's always a pleasure to work with you…..I enjoy the company of my fellow deans as well—the panel is really enjoyable and I appreciate the opportunity to work with them. Continued best wishes—Dr. Betty Merchant, The University of Texas at San Antonio, October 9-11, 2014. On behalf of the faculty, staff and students of the School of Business and Leadership, I am pleased to offer this $1,000.00 donation to the furtherance of the CEPA mission! Dr. Robert Bisking, Dean, Our Lady of the Lake University, October 18-20, 2012. I want to thank you again for the wonderful conference on Visionary Leadership: An Ethical and Innovative Approach to Empowerment that you organized in Corpus Christi earlier this month. It was a truly outstanding event and I really appreciated the opportunity to attend, to meet all of the very talented people in attendance and also to have the privilege of addressing this group as a Keynote Speaker. Everyone I talked to was very impressed with the timeliness of the topics and the mentoring approaches that permeated the conference, thanks to your leadership. So, thank you again so much for putting this all together. Extremely well done! CONGRATULATIONS!! Dr. Larry Lemanski, Texas A&M University - Commerce, October 18-20, 2012. The inspiring and intellectually stimulating conference has ended. I was very impressed with your innovative program of powerful young future leaders. It was a trail-blazing experience (to use the Texas vernacular). Dr. J. Fischer, Texas. |
I will share this information with students, faculty and staff in the department who may be interested in attending the leadership conference. On a professional note, congratulations on your achievements as a leader and thank you for your outstanding service to the nation and humanity.
