Being Well While Doing Good
November 2-4, 2022
Thank you! It was so much FUN!
Welcome Letter from Our Convention Co-Chairs
Dear FCIS Member Schools and Colleagues,
As your 2022 FCIS Convention Chairs, we are looking forward to personally welcoming you to Jacksonville for the FCIS Annual Convention on November 3-4, 2022, at the Hyatt Regency Riverfront. We believe this convention is timely and our theme of Being Well While Doing Good will hit the mark that all of us are aiming for in our schools and for ourselves. As the pace of the school year and professional demands increase, the tremendous value of taking time for professional development and collaboration with our peers cannot be underestimated. Spending these few days with Florida’s leading independent school representatives provides value to all our institutions.
This year’s Convention Steering Committee has compiled a program that will offer a meaningful professional development experience for individuals in any role at your institution. We will be featuring Pre-Conference Workshops for heads of schools, administrators, advancement professionals and business officers on November 2nd. Administrator Day is Thursday the 3rd, and Faculty Day is Friday the 4th. We are ecstatic to return to a fully in-person conference experience!

Pre-Conference Workshop with ISM
PRE-CONFERENCE ISM WORKSHOP
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2
9:00AM-4:00PM
Session 1 • 9:00am-12:00pm
A Culture of More: How Parent Expectations and a Changing Landscape Impact Enrollment and Retention
The expectations of private-independent school parents are higher than ever. Coupled with more competition for students, uncertain economic conditions, and rising tuition costs—school leaders have much to overcome to attract and retain students. Your school must continue illustrating its value to parents to remain competitive in your community. Join this session to discover why parents choose private schools and what that means for how you must build trust with them. Explore ISM’s research-backed methodology for defining and sharing your school’s value proposition, including your competitive niche. Leave this interactive, hands-on session with ideas on how to illustrate your value, communicate it to parents, and stay competitive in your market.
Who Should Attend? Admissions and Marketing professionals; School Heads
Session 2 • 1:00-4:00pm
How to Empower Everyone in Your School to Become Frontline Marketers
Successful schools know this: every single teacher, leader, and administrator is responsible for frontline marketing to support recruitment and retention. Your faculty and staff’s daily interactions with parents and students are not only the #1 factor not in whether a family chooses to stay enrolled long-term, but also what your families say about you to others within the school community and beyond. The bottom line? Enrollment management is everyone’s responsibility.
Attend this session to discuss meaningful strategies your staff can employ to increase engagement, retention, and ultimately enrollment. Plus, explore how to communicate with staff about the importance of their participation in enrollment management. This session will empower you with a toolbox of resources and ideas you can bring back to your school.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2
1:00-5:00PM
Session 1 • 1:00-2:30pm
Financial Aid Policy and Protocols Post-COVID Planning
Confidence comes from being prepared, right? We have had several years of not knowing what will come next. Join me as we take this sacred time to build up our confidence for the season ahead. We will take protocols we adopted in COVID and enhance/identify what we want to continue to use going forward. We will also look at those protocols we want to start to wind down and cycle out. We will review tax forms, processes for families with income changes and protocols for families that are still long term unemployed or underemployed. We will look at a few family files to help you to draft your own protocols knowing what works uniquely for your school. Everyone will walk away with the confidence to update their own school protocols and be prepared for the season ahead.
Session 2 • 2:30-4:00pm
Finding Clarity When the Financial Aid Calculator Breaks
Clarity is a place between too little and too much in financial aid folder reviews. We can find ourselves diving down deep rabbit holes of financial aid file review only to pop up and still feel concerned. There is no absolute “correct” amount a family will pay, so let’s remove that pressure off your shoulders and help you find a good number. We also cannot just rely on a mathematical equation to do all the heavy lifting in those more complicated files. We need to find the balance between too little and too much data to make a good sound decision. We will demystify a few files where the math just doesn’t make sense and give you some strategies and options on how to get to that place of clarity.
Session 3 • 4:00-5:00pm
Prepping Reports for your Head of School/Board of Trustees-Board Retreat Ready!
As the FA season winds down and before you have amnesia about it, ask yourself, what do I need? Massage? Of course! What do you need from your head and those that control the budget, your board, to be successful next year? Financial aid data can tell a story of success or challenges and sometimes both. We will provide steps on how to clean up your data so that you can deliver your financial aid story and share your needs. Or simply just share the big successes!
Who should attend? CFOs/Business Officers, Directors of Enrollment Management

To close out her career, Samantha led her teammates to the 2005 National Championship title as the co-captain of the Georgia Bulldogs.
