"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."
Henry Ford
Thank you for being a part of the 2012 NSBA Leadership Conference. We hope it provided you with an opportunity to make connections, engage with your fellow state school board association leaders and gave you at least one or two good ideas to explore further.
Listed below are the general session as well as breakout session slides and conference resource material.
Photos taken over the weekend may be found on NSBA's Flickr page.
We are very interested in hearing what you liked about the 2012 NSBA Leadership Conference as well as hearing your ideas on how we can improve in serving your leadership needs through the conference program. Please take time to complete a quick conference survey that will be used to help inform future events.
We ask that the survey be completed by Friday, February 24, 2012.
Again, thank you for supporting the Leadership Conference and for making it a success by contributing the most valuable elements—your time, thoughts, and energy-- to make it a meaningful event.
If you have any questions, please contact Kanisha Williams-Jones or Valarie Carty.
