Spring Conference

  

Every year CESBA holds two provincial conferences, allowing members (and others) to get together to network, learn and discuss issues of interest to adult and continuing education administrators. The first conference is generally held in the late spring. It runs for two days with a pre-conference day including workshop sessions for specific program areas.
