Summit strands to focus on eight LCAP priority areas
The ACSA Leadership Summit is an annual gathering of educators at all levels of administration that is a celebration of the profession and learning. The Leadership Summit provides opportunities for invaluable networking and offers professional development on current critical leadership and educational issues.
In 2015, the goal of the Leadership Summit is to inspire attendees to build and continue to strengthen their leadership skills. This year’s event will offer powerful and insightful sessions, many opportunities for attendees to learn from nationally recognized speakers, and an opportunity to network with each other and celebrate the profession of school leadership.
All Summit attendees are invited to join a special luncheon on Nov. 5, where ACSA will honor its Every Student Succeeding award recipients. The touching stories of students who overcome adversity to succeed in school are truly a conference highlight. In addition, all are invited to join a Fun Run/Walk the morning of Nov. 6, prior to a breakfast panel keynote session. The Fun Run/Walk will help sponsor scholarships for ESS students.
