Welcome MANS Members, Guests, Presenters and Exhibitors!
MANS 2018 Education Conference and Expo
Faith based Schools: Educating with Passion and Purpose!
The MANS Education Conference and Expo brings together school leaders, teachers, and support
staff from member schools of the seven Catholic Dioceses of Michigan, the Michigan District of the
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and Christian Schools International. It is in this unique conference
experience where we join hands and hearts to celebrate our Christ centered schools.
Our Arrangements Committee of educators has worked diligently to organize another outstanding
learning experience for all of our MANS members. It has been the goal of the planning committee to
provide a schedule of meaningful professional stimulation, prayerful reflection, and fellowship.
We are thankful for the support your school is providing MANS by its participation in this event. We
particularly offer a special note of thanks to those school communities that are sharing their talents
throughout these two days.
Our schools hold a great tradition of providing high quality, effective education experiences over
many generations. In this challenging time, the tradition continues with great enthusiasm. It is our
hope that you make your time in Grand Rapids one of academic, personal and spiritual growth as we
reflect on our heritage and continue to shape future generations of scholars.
Let us be an inspiration to each other. May all our hearts and minds be even more aware of our God-
given gifts and inspired to use them in service to our school families and the good of our community,
state, and nation!
Sincerely,
Brian D. Broderick
