Mission and Identity Conference

The Mission and Identity conference is composed of those responsible for identity programs in the Jesuit universities. There is no standard university structure for Mission and Identity and some of the participants are Vice Presidents, some special assistants to the President, and some directors of divisions. The conference has three regional leaders selected for rotating three year terms. The regional leaders plan the annual conference. The conference maintains a list serve and is used by members to gather information on mission practices in the schools.
 
The conference meeting generally features a keynote address by a local expert on a mission area: vocation, formation of colleagues, board development, faith and justice, being Jesuit in new ways,and spirituality. Each meeting includes sessions which encourage the participants to share their best practices. During the conference meeting, the regional groups generally meet to plan Western conversations, the Heartland conferences and other regional gatherings.
