Monterey, CA 2010: "Oceans of Discovery, Change and Renewal"


Our 2010 conference, October 17-19, will be based at the InterContinental Clement Monterey Hotel in Monterey, California, with events that will take us to Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Carmel.

This year's conference planner is Doreen Oleson, Saint Mark's School, CA, assisted by a committee of California independent elementary school heads. They have planned plenty of opportunity for colleague discussion and a terrific line up of speakers including:
  • Nainoa Thompson, Executive Director of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, on "Discovery and Wayfinding in Rough Seas and Unpredictable Currents." Thompson, an independent school graduate (Punahou School) and Board chair (Kamehameha Schools), is the first Hawaiian since the 14th century to have navigated a double-hulled canoe to other islands in Polynesia without the aid of instruments.
  • Carol Dweck, author of Mindset, on the topic of "Open Mindsets: Optimal Renewal and the Psychology of Success."
You'll find a complete conference program, list of venues, and registration forms in the "downloads" section at the upper right. Registration is open to members of ESHA and our sister organizations in the U.K. and Australia, IAPS and IPSHA, and to spouses and partners. To register, print the appropriate registration form and send it with your conference registration fee to the ESHA office.

To book your lodging, contact the InterContinental Clement Monterey and ask for the Elementary School Heads Association conference rate of $215. See the venues list in the downloads section (upper right) for details. If you have difficulty reserving at the conference rate, please call the ESHA office at (774)238-8416, and we'll help you out.
