Building Bridges of Hope and Understanding

History in the making: For the first time, four powerhouse organizations are coming together for a leadership experience designed by and for educational leaders of color.

Join us for the Leaders of Color Summit and bring educational leadership into the future! At this 2-day event, you'll have the space to share your unique journey, learn from fellow changemakers, and gain practical strategies to amplify your impact in your school community.

 Learning Objectives:

• Cultivate Cross-Cultural Leadership Practices: Discover how to weave your diverse lived experiences into a powerful leadership approach that inspires unity and collaboration across racial and ethnic lines.
• Amplify Your Collective Voice for Equity: Develop the mindset and strategies to advocate for systemic change. Leave with the tools to build influential coalitions that elevate underrepresented voices and drive meaningful policy shifts at every level.
• Build Lasting Connections Across Communities: Establish deep, cross-cultural relationships that transcend individual experiences. Forge a network of colleagues committed to championing educational equity - and hold each other accountable for turning vision into reality!
