2023 Aspiring Superintendents Virtual Summer Series, Session 1
June 6, 2023 @ 8:30 am to 10:00 am
The fourth Annual TASA Aspiring Superintendents Virtual Summer Series is a “don’t miss” opportunity for all leaders preparing to be superintendent! If you attended the Aspiring Superintendents Academy at Midwinter Conference and want a deeper dive or if you are joining us for the first time, you want to be a part of this three-part virtual series in June 2023. Learn from experienced superintendents, as well as a few who have been on the job less than one year. Each one will help shape your perspective and give you tools you need to succeed as a first-time superintendent. Dr. Charles Dupre will moderate each session and share experiences from his 15 years as superintendent. Three 90-minutes sessions on three Tuesdays in June might be just what you need to take that next step on your leadership journey.
