2022 Convocation Q & A
Yes. The steering committee is hard at work planning the Convocation.
We’re thankful for the lively participation of Chris Cody, Trenae Howard, Chad Janetzke, Mason Kaschinske, Cory Newman, Mike Oldenburg, Erin Rogers, Becky Schmidt, Wendy Seban, Sarah Wallace, and the LEA staff—all under the able guidance of Leah Abel.
See the Convocation Budget Guide and the Convocation Deposit OPTIONS to help you figure how much it will cost. If you act before July, 2021, you can use LEA’s membership payment installment plan.
Yes. They wouldn’t be surprises if I told you now. Watch LEAnews for regular updates.

87 percent of survey respondents rated it good to excellent.
Milwaukee hosted the 1993 and 2013 convocations. They have a good record for service and accessibility.
Ninety percent of the hotel rooms are either connected to or across the street from the convention center.
 Costs for the seven selected the hotels range from $124.00-- $139.00 per room per night. Taxes are extra at 15.1%.
We have plenty of rooms, but do not call the hotels directly for your room reservations! First, you have to register for the convocation on the registration site. Once done, you will need to use that same site to reserve your hotel rooms at the conference rates.
Registration is scheduled to open March 1, 2022.
No. Registration is all-inclusive. Your registration is good for the entire convocation.
Weekly issues of LEAnews and the convocation website will provide the most comprehensive information. LEA’s Facebook page.
 Watch program announcements for social media opportunities. In the meantime, here are some tips helpful for all conferences.
