They can’t!
That is where NCCE’s Leadership Summit can help! The summit is a highly interactive and collaborative experience with practical takeaways and inspiration and motivation.
This summit, led by Dr. Russell, Superintendent of Freeman School District in Washington, offers an interactive experience where you’ll not only learn about leadership in theory but also practice real-world applications, such as how to lead in times of change, inspire a growth mindset in others, and be resilient in the face of challenges.
Here are some key reasons why this summit should be at the top of your NCCE 2025 agenda:
