Opportunities for Advancement Administrators Florida Sea Base Conference on Education for Advancement Administrators (CEAA) January 11-17, 2015 Hurry! Conference is filling fast As evidenced by the highest ever pre-registration for a national advancement workshop, the Conference on Education for Advancement Administrators, or CEAA for short, has established a well-deserved reputation for being a premier learning experience and workshop for council and district advancement-oriented volunteers and professionals. There is still time to sign up, but please hurry. It is possible we may need to cut off registration as we maximize the Florida Sea Base capacity. Here is a sample of what you will experience during your week in the sunny Florida Keys, January 11-17. First, you will have an opportunity to assist the National Advancement Committee in the development of educational materials and other resources that will be used across the country. Many of the PowerPoint educational tools posted at scouting.org/advancement are the result of previous CEAA conferences. This year’s conference participants will view and discuss these existing materials and will be given the opportunity to make recommendations for additional tools to be developed for the future. Several members of the National Advancement Committee and its advisory panel will be on hand, along with representatives of the National Disabilities Awareness committee, to hear your ideas. Better yet, you will be able to “road test” some of tools that were begun at last year’s CEAA. Those in final development stages include “Including Scouts with Disabilities,” “Effective Cub Scout Advancement,” “Conducting Effective Eagle Boards of Review,” and “Building and Sustaining High Performing Advancement Committees.” This year’s conference will also provide participants an expanded list of interesting breakout opportunities dealing with topics such as Cub Scout issues, merit badge management, Eagle issues, increasing advancement, disabilities awareness, and advancement literature updates. Participants will have the opportunity to choose the areas of interest in which they want to spend some quality breakout time. Wednesday has a tentative morning activity scheduled, but the afternoon will be time off for participants to relax and explore the Keys. In addition, a spouse program is being planned that includes snorkeling, kayaking, glass bottom boat tours, sunset cruises, and much more. Regrettably, there are no facilities or provisions for children at the Sea Base. Do not miss your chance to visit the Florida Keys in January where you will have opportunity to engage in some amazing Scouting and advancement activities and camaraderie.
