Frequently Asked Questions

At this time, the 2019 conference registration is closed, please check back at a later time.

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED High School Students: Conference attendance is limited to high school students from districts that have established a partnership with CECLC and are represented on the planning committee. District representatives (Area Reps) are responsible for confirming which of their high schools will be attending. Participating high schools agree to:

• Abide by conference rules, provide chaperones, and review student expectations with attendees.
• Meet all conference deadlines – registration, student contests, and payment

Pay $35 registration fee for students and staff attending – provide required invoicing information. To see the full listing of participating district areas go here.  To confirm whether your high school is attending, contact the Area Rep for your district or the CECLC Board at board@cecleadershipconference.org. Community Guests: Due to limited space, community members requesting to attend need prior approval from the CECLC Board. A $35 registration fee is required. Email the board at board@cecleadershipconference.org with your request. Approved guests will be sent a conference schedule, parking and payment process information. Guests can attend morning session, keynote address, college/career fair and lunch (only – NO conference workshops). Onsite conference registration is NOT available. How do I participate if I am not with an affiliated school district or region? If your school is outside the region/district area, contact the planning committee at board@cecleadershipconference.org to be added to a waiting list. In your request include:

• The number of students in your group
• The number of staff/chaperones
• Contact person information

You will be informed by late January, whether space is available and your school can participate. Individual student registration is not permitted.

ANYONE WITHOUT CONFERENCE REGISTRATION WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.
