"Need-to-Know" Information
The Leadership Conference’s substantive sessions include comprehensive information that connects law, theory and practice. The general and break-out sessions are carefully planned based upon your requests and input, and are designed to provide all charter school stakeholders with the most up-to-date and pertinent information necessary to successfully develop, lead, and oversee your schools.

Expert Perspectives
