If you are an independent school leader, claim one of the precious 40 seats at this year's Leadership Academy. Three transformative days will make you a more effective leader of change, giving you new clarity and direction. With supportive colleagues, you’ll learn from expert faculty from the Northwestern University Kellogg School Center for Nonprofit Management. Whether you are a head of school or a senior leader, whether or not you've attended the Leadership Academy in the past, this year's faculty line up is not one to miss. This year, Omari Keeles and Michelle Buck will have extended time with leaders. Be sure to plan your travel to stay for the entire event. You won't want to miss our last afternoon session together, a capstone to the entire Academy. We can't wait to see you there.
