Daytona Beach, FL
Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort

The Florida-Georgia District Educator’s Conference will provide professional development for teachers, DCEs, Family Life Ministers,
and administrators with keynote sessions, Ed Camps, and breakout sessions will provide participants with 7 hours of professional development.

Sarah Salzberg lives in Los Angeles, CA, with her husband (Josh), son (Hosea), and daughter (Simone), traveling from one coffee shop to another, trying as many cappuccinos and croissants as she can. When not hopped up on espresso, Sarah teaches Old Testament at Orange Lutheran High School in Orange County, CA. In addition, she has served as a planner and theological advisor for the LCMS Youth Gathering as well as a speaker for youth and women’s retreats around the country. She earned her Master’s in Theology from Concordia University in Irvine, but her pride and joy will always be Concordia Seward, where she earned her Bachelor’s in Education. Any opportunity she gets, she loves to share how bananas it is that the God of the universe would choose to limit Himself to human language and the human experience!

Mychal Thom brings nearly 20 years of experience in secondary and post-secondary education, including nearly ten years within the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod academic arena. As the former Head of School for Concordia Lutheran High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he managed a multi-million dollar educational enterprise and oversaw successful fundraising, strategic management, fiscal and labor management, and academic programming.

“Mychal’s leadership is already having an impact on CSP by creating programming and opportunities for students of all backgrounds to succeed and find career pathways aligned with their passions,” said CSP’s Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Kevin Hall.

Thom will continue his work as CSP’s Chief Diversity Officer – a role that has already broadened the university’s ability to better support students of all backgrounds. He oversees CSP’s growing Diversity Center, focused on increasing its visibility and outreach services to serve students and bring people together from diverse backgrounds.

Thom holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degrees from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, and completed the Colloquy program at Concordia University, Ann Arbor.

Dr. Annette Anschutz holds a B.A. in social work, an M.A. in family life science, an M.Ed. with an early childhood emphasis, and an Ed.D. in early childhood education. She has taught and directed early childhood programs for a combined service of more than 35 years. Since 2009, she has served at Concordia University, Nebraska. She is semi-retired and serves as a professor of education and program director for the graduate early childhood programs. She has three sons and two daughters-in-law, and is the proud grandmother of three granddaughters. She is married to Concordia alum and Liturgical Artist, Mark Anschutz. She has written several articles and enjoys visiting other early childhood programs across the United States as a learner, speaker, and consultant.
