Join us December 6 – 8 for the Arkansas School Boards Association 2023 70th Annual Conference at the Marriott/State House Convention Center in downtown Little Rock. In a rapidly evolving educational landscape, the role of school boards has never been more pivotal. This year, we delve into the theme “Empowering Education: Navigating Change, Embracing Opportunities.” Connect with fellow board members, discover innovative strategies, and gather insights from experts to navigate the challenges ahead. The Annual Conference will also feature exhibits from Commercial Affiliate Partners who can help you make sound and prudent decisions on products and services that are essential for your district’s educational program. The full agenda is coming soon.
Generational studies pioneer expert, Chuck Underwood, will be the keynote speaker on Thursday, December 7.
“You are America’s K-12 leaders, and you are beginning to learn the long list of generational strategies whose power you can - and must - harness in order to create and maintain the highest-level performance throughout your district.”
Learn how you can create a comprehensive, permanent, and nimble culture of generational knowledge and strategies throughout your district.
