There will be several opportunities for participants to share their successes and challenges related to the pandemic, social justice reform, and improved equity during scheduled Networking sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. These will be opportunities for board members and district leaders to share stories, problem solve, and discuss the issues that are most timely for their communities.
Bonus Content will be available on demand beginning Thursday at 5 p.m. for attendees wanting to enrich their learning experience and extend their conference training. Participants will earn one hour of credit for each session attended.
