Welcome Message from the CCEAM 2008 National Organising Committee Chair

Dear Fellow Educators,

On behalf of the Education Management Association of South Africa [EMASA], we are honoured to be hosting the Commonwealth Council For Educational Administration and Management Conference, in Durban, South Africa. The conference will take place from 8 September to 12 September 2008.

We believe that this conference is of the utmost importance to the African continent and will present the platform for Commonwealth countries, to share experiences, knowledge and grow Educational Administration, Management and Leadership.

With the conference theme: Think Globally Act Locally: A Challenge to Education Leaders, the organising committee believes that the challenges, achievements and goals of the education environment can be addressed.

Our country has a young democracy, with unbelievable growth potential, and this conference and your attendance will only add value and contribute towards our growth and future strength.

Attendance at the conference can be confirmed by means of online registration. Should you require any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our conference organisers.

If you have not visited our beautiful country before, please try and spend a few days exploring the surrounding area. This will give you a better understanding of our environment and wonderful warm people.

We wish to acknowledge the productive partnership and sponsorship between EMASA and BELMAS.

Looking forward to welcoming you to Durban!

Best Wishes

Muavia Gallie
