  • 09/19/15

Washington, D.C. — If you are attending the association’s LearningSCAPES Conference in San Diego, October 22-26, 2015, you will be among the first to learn where this organization is headed – the future promises to be momentous!

“A series of strategic plans over the past five or six years has led us to a remarkable transformation of the association,” said CEFPI’s CEO, John Ramsey. “Something big is happening in San Diego where we will unveil the major plans for rebranding our future. We are excited to share our new blueprints and strategies!”

The strategic plan series has focused on positioning CEFPI well into the future as the premiere association for the collaborative network of professionals who plan learning environments. At last year’s CEFPI Annual Conference and Exposition, today’s LearningSCAPES, the new SchoolsNEXT program, formerly School of the Future Design Competition, was announced as one of the first steps in our rebranding efforts.

Dan Mader, Chairman of the Board, remarked, “CEFPI has experienced a significant rebound in growth since the recent recession and we are moving forward to maintain our position as the ‘go to’ organization for educational facility planning.”

The Council of Educational Facility Planners International (CEFPI) is the only professional organization whose principal purpose is improving the places where children learn. CEFPI embraces a collaborative network of professionals with one single goal – building healthy, safe, resilient and sustainable 21st Century learning places, that enhance student and teacher performance and support culture and community vitality.
