WELCOME TO CACE!
SUPPORTING CATHOLIC EDUCATION IN ALL ITS FORMS.
The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) Department of Chief Administrators of Catholic Education (CACE) consists of three divisions: Total Catholic Education, Schools and Religious Education. Each division is guided by an elected advisory committee that plans programs and activities to address national trends and member professional and faith formation needs.
In addition, the department sponsors the CACE Research Center, which assists in the funding of research on all aspects of Catholic education.
CACE member representatives work closely with other NCEA school-related departments, the NCEA Department of Religious Education and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on the development of a national agenda for Catholic schools and catechetical programs, and to advocate for Catholic schools on public policy matters at the national level.
Many programs and services are provided to meet the needs of CACE members. Each fall, the CACE Annual Meeting is held and provides many excellent speakers who address critical issues of importance to the members. As part of the NCEA Convention scheduled the week following Easter, CACE hosts a major symposium, CACE Conversations, for its members and other invited participants on a current topic of interest presented by well known professionals. The NCEA Convention also provides a number of sessions that are of importance to the CACE member's development.
In addition to these major efforts, we have a number of programs and services that are available to assist the CACE membership as they serve their constituents. A small sample of the services includes Catholic school identity workshops, a mentoring program for new leaders, strategic planning services and financial management workshops. A number of publications from CACE assist members in effectively serving their constituents in the area of professional development.
Please take a moment to look over our web pages to learn more about CACE and if you are already a member, how we can be of service to you in your leadership role.
