Uptick, noun
An increase, rise, or upward trend
With attention to a new setting, a premium placed on fellowship and collegiality (emeriti principals are invited to the entire Conference at no cost), and a focus on the imprint of COVID on us all, the annual Summer Administrators Conference has reversed a recent downward attendance trend in the Indiana District. Thanks to the planning team of Southern Region Principals (Todd Boehmlander, Terri Schmeltzer, Wes Wrucke, Whitney Vandercar, Tony Schull, Trisha Engel, Jeff Smitly, Clayton Darlege, and Paul Meredith) the Conference is primed to promote “Resilience through Christ.” This uptick is also evident in the robust Conference Agenda, outlined below:
