President's Perspective

Conferences Offer New Insights

Brian Kirkendoll, AAEA Board President

I would like to thank Dr. Hernandez, the AAEA staff, and everyone who attended the AAEA Fall Conference on October 18th at the Benton Event Center. The day was very beneficial and well attended. The focus on communication and branding was definitely relevant and informative.

National Principals Month honors principals for their significant impact on the success and well-being of our nation’s students. Principals, thank you for being a guiding light for our schools. We enjoyed celebrating you during the month of October.

Also, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) will be hosting the School Leaders Conference in Denver in July 2023. This is the first national school leadership conference held by NASSP in four years. We know that the pandemic created new challenges for educational leaders. This conference will provide new insights into dealing with many issues surrounding education. Any school leader is welcome to register and attend. IGNITE 2023 is the premier conference in the nation for secondary school leadership. You can find more information at ignite.nassp.org.
