DIA Schools Collaborative Memberships were introduced more than four years ago in response to DIA Schools Summit attendees’ requests to “go deeper” and continue to work with like-minded colleagues beyond the annual event. In the same light as memberships evolved, partnerships developed to forge deeper alliances while cross-marketing respective missions throughout the year, rather than just as once-annual event sponsors.

The annual DIA Schools Summit, now DIA’s tentpole gathering, is scheduled October 26-28, 2026, on the University of Dallas campus, in Irving, Texas. Over 250 attendees are expected, representing Catholic schools and diocesan schools offices (members and non-members) from across the US and beyond. All twelve-month partnerships include a display table at the event located in areas of high visibility during the conference, and one or two registrations, valued at $550 per person.
