The theme of the conference was taken from Brigham Young’s charge to Karl G. Participants in the general sessions came to the conference from as far away as North Carolina, Oregon, and California to participate in this inaugural conference. The exhibit served as a great reminder of the educational heritage Latter-day Saints have. On Friday evening a reception and business meeting was held in the Education in Zion exhibit, where officers were elected and bylaws for the association were adopted. The association believes there is great reason to add continuing support to those who choose to spend their careers seeking to enhance the learning of our Heavenly Father’s children wherever they may be serving. From its beginning, the LDS Church has been committed to the preparation of faithful teachers, not only for the Church but also for the public school system. Latter-day Saint educators face great challenges in a world that is rapidly changing its most basic values and standards. It provides a place to discuss critical contemporary issues in the context of faith, encourage educators to consider the unique aspects of LDS doctrine, and network together in finding the most effective ways to strengthen learning in all settings. The purpose of the association is to challenge LDS educators to consider the relationship between their sacred covenants and their professional practice. Maeser Memorial Building on the campus of Brigham Young University became the site for the first annual conference of the LDS Educators Association. Callister was serving in the Presidency of the Seventy and as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy when he was called as Sunday School General President.
