An Invitation from the Chairperson

Dear friends,

On behalf of the International Alliance for Invitational Education as well as the International Alliance for Invitational Education (Hong Kong), I would like to invite you to join us for the 2005 Invitational Education World Leadership Institute in Hong Kong, September 27-30, 2005.

This IE World Leadership Institute provides a unique opportunity for educators, teachers, principals, administrators and related professionals all over the world to explore the concepts and practice of Invitational Leadership. The theme of this institute is ¡§A Bridge to Success for Every Learner¡¨. We are very delighted to announce that Professor William W Purkey, Professor Betty L Siegel and Professor John Novak have kindly consented to be the Key Speakers in the Institute. Peter Yarrow of the legendary Peter, Paul & Mary, a good friend of IAIE, has also accepted our invitation as a Special Guest Speaker in the institute. Apart from seminars and workshops, Local visits to inviting schools will also be arranged to facilitate the sharing of experiences in Invitational Education.

This is the first time for the Leadership Conference to be held outside North America. Hong Kong, the ¡§Pearl of the Orient¡¨ is a favorite travel destination in Asia, where the best of Oriental and Western cultures fuse to form a dynamic and contemporary city. It is a colorful kaleidoscope of attractions to arouse the senses: spectacular sightseeing, sensational shopping and fabulous foods. We have bargained with hotel and travel agencies to offer you attractive hotel rate, airfare, as well as local and China tour packages.

Registration fee for the 2005 Invitational Education World Leadership Institute is US$250 for members, and US$275 for non-members. Please mark your diary and register now. For enquiry, please contact me at iewli2005@yahoo.com.hk, Sue Bowen (Chair of IAIE Board of Trustees) at Csbowen@aol.com or Susan Brown (Executive Secretary of IAIE) at sbrown41@kennesaw.edu; or visit www.iaie.org.hk for ongoing development of the institute.
