Conference Theme

This year’s theme “Visionary Leadership: An Ethical and Innovative Approach to Empowerment” addresses the question of what specifically needs to be done to improve the quality of leadership.  The participants represent an interdisciplinary group of professionals who embrace vision, risk, and change.  These qualities, coupled with the three major components of ethical, interdisciplinary, and international leadership are key elements for developing leadership.

The goals of the conference are to: 1) encourage, mentor and support new and upcoming leaders in diverse fields of interest, 2) improve leadership through collaboration, and 3) maintain a focus on humanistic values and ethical practices. We are interested in developing independent, innovative and creative thinkers.

Comments from participants at past CEPA conferences

The inspiring and intellectually stimulating conference has ended.  I was very impressed with your innovative program of powerful young future leaders.  It was a trail-blazing experience (to use the Texas vernacular). Dr. J. Fischer, Texas.

As always I feel so fortunate to have been a part of your work. Dr. Rodriguez, you are an inspiration and a focal point for positive humanist change that is so needed right now. You must continue to expand, the world is waiting...Elizabeth Kuder, California.

Dr. Rodriguez, Thank you very much for creating an environment open to free thinking. Erica Hobbs, New Mexico.

It is also a source of personal joy to know that there are people like Dr. Rodríguez and his outstanding team of colleagues who, though far removed from our daily lives, are still concerned and ready to help us by traveling from their country to unselfishly share their knowledge with us. On behalf of my country El Salvador, I want you to know that your efforts have not fallen on arid ground-on the contrary, your words have been the seed which will be multiplied by the efforts of everyone who has benefited from your work. Marion Francisco Salinas Hernandez, El Salvador
