From Tension to Trust: Essential Skills for Today's Board Chair
Serving as a school board chair is both an honor and a challenge. Strong boards—and strong districts—depend on leaders who can guide tough conversations, manage complex dynamics, and keep the focus where it belongs: on students.
In partnership with CASB, join PEBC’s Director of the FORWARD Initiative, Dr. Katy Anthes, and Sr. Director of Client and System Services Dana Sorensen for a multi-part workshop series designed to help board chairs strengthen facilitation skills, navigate conflict, and lead with confidence in polarized times. Build your toolkit—and your network—for leading productive, student-centered governance.
