"Moving Forward: Together Again"
Our 2021 Annual Principals Conference, scheduled for October 8-10, comes at a time that has never been more challenging for principals to step away from the day-to-day operations of schools. We've heard that feedback from many principals and superintendents in recent weeks, and to be responsive to the needs of our building administrators, COSA has decided to postpone the Principals Conference until the Spring of 2022. We apologize for any inconvenience that may cause you.
If you registered for the conference, we are happy to either refund your registration fee, or apply it toward the Principals Conference in the spring. We will be in touch with the new conference date next week, along with updated details on our website and a new registration link.
If you made a reservation for lodging at the Riverhouse, they will be canceling all of the existing reservations in the conference group block. Attendees/vendors with reservations in the group block do not need to call to cancel your reservations. If you want to keep your reservation (i.e. you are still planning to travel to Bend for leisure or other business), you can call the Riverhouse (1-888-919-9148) and they will reinstate your reservation and honor the COSA conference rate.
