DEAR COLLEAGUE:

It’s showtime!

NYSSBA is pleased to bring you “Leadership for Learning,” our 89th Annual Convention, Oct. 16 – 19, in New York City. It’s four days of professional development opportunities for school boards addressing the variety of issues we all face.

This year’s Convention cast includes:

Jearlyn Steele, frequent A Prairie Home Companion guest, backed by the voices of the Edward R. Murrow High School Chorus of New York City, who will demonstrate the power of music in our students’ lives.
Dr. Lorraine Monroe, a nationally renowned expert who will share her techniques for leading excellent schools that focus on student achievement.
Outstanding presenters and guest facilitators who will lead more than 80 education seminars and five in-depth workshops to help you and your school district with everything from closing the student achievement gap to saving energy costs to harnessing new learning technologies to coping with a crisis.
More than 160 trade show vendors eager to show their best products and services and help your district find solutions.

Our main stage is the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, along with the nearby Sheraton Manhattan, both in the heart of midtown Manhattan.

Experience the school board training event everyone is talking about. Mark your calendars and register now!
