Learn how to lead effectively without the president title or responsibilities. Leadership isn’t defined by position! Join this highly interactive, hands-on session to learn strategies for leading from any board position. We’ll unpack real-life examples as we explore what true leadership means. Both experienced and newly elected board members will leave encouraged and empowered to make a difference from any seat.

This webinar will discuss the Governor's State of the State address and her budget proposal, as well as other issues facing the Legislature this year.
Turnarounds are rarely linear. This session offers a candid look at the early missteps, course corrections, and governance lessons learned while rebuilding a struggling rural district. Rather than promoting a single model, the presenters will share practical insights into board-superintendent alignment, decision discipline, and long-term thinking that ultimately led to improved stability and trust. Designed for board members who value realism over theory.
Wondering how your governance team can get regular student input on hot topics like cell phone use, AI, grading practices and course offerings? One option is to form a dedicated Student Advisory Council. Learn how one district has attracted more than 30 students to serve in this role—and how the students have helped the administration and board better meet student needs.
