If you’ve received the program for the NCCL (National Conference for Catechetical Leadership) conference in Las Vegas (April 18-22, 2010), please take note that there’s a learning session missing from the list: MINE!
The same list that omits my learning sessions is also printed in the current issue of Catechetical Leadership magazine, so the folks at NCCL and I are taking steps to make sure that the word is out that I am indeed presenting in Vegas!

Looking forward to a few days in the desert, come April!
If someone were to attend only one, what makes the Las Vegas event different from the one in LA?
Christian, the L.A. Religious Education Congress event is about 30 times bigger than the NCCL conference taking place in Vegas this year (it’s in a different location each year). The menu of speakers at L.A. is vastly larger and the scope of presentations covers everything imaginable. L.A. Congress is an archdiocesan event while the NCCL is a professional organization of catechetical leaders, so that conference is much more focused on specific catechetical issues and strategies of interest to DREs and catechists whereas the L.A. Congress caters to a much broader audience of parish ministers.
