Gather & Share Best Practices
Our 2023 conference attendees will hear from schools and practitioners who have learned some valuable lessons and are willing to share their insights! From developing a partnerships office, to navigating taxes, hear from representatives who have already gone down this road, and can share their best practices and learnings with you.
Whether you have a program that is well-established or you are gathering information to start a program, the content and collaboration will help you add value to the process, and build your momentum.
The conference will include ongoing discussions on important evolving topics like Sustainability and DEI, while also including plenty of time for networking to find colleagues who can best assist your school in its latest stage.
