The theme of this year’s virtual Huether Lasallian Conference, scheduled for Nov. 19-21, is “Great Things are Possible: Our Lasallian Mission Reimagined and Renewed.” The annual conference gathers Lasallians from across our region.
As we collectively navigate the coronavirus pandemic, the Office for Lasallian Education at Christian Brothers Conference, in consultation with the Huether planning committee and other stakeholders, have reimagined this year’s conference and pivoted to a virtual gathering, the first in the history of the Huether Lasallian Conference. Great care has been taken to ensure the program schedule allows for participants from across the region to come together for informative, inspiring, and knowledgeable presenters from within and outside the Lasallian family who will inspire participants to respond to challenges posed by the world today.
