Yet our two sessions this morning: “Sustainability of Independent Schools in the Recession” and “College Admission in the Current Economic Crisis” attracted more than 400 attendees. In the College Session, Inside … Read more »

The IECA optional member’s dinner took place in Chinatown last night, and it was, as always, well-organized and fun (not to mention yummy!). This is my third IECA conference, and I am looking forward to every moment of … Read more »
