4 – 6 p.m.
You are exclusively invited to join regional superintendents, education foundations, and foundation board leaders at “Resourcing Public Education – A Convening”! This is a joyous convening focused on strengthening collaboration and sharing innovative approaches to serving students across our region.
The event will feature a brief introduction followed by guided networking for approximately 40 education leaders. We’ll explore how districts are creatively responding to student needs, bringing new resources and funding to support their work, and building stronger partnerships across district and foundation communities.
Most importantly, this convening is an opportunity to identify ways we can collaborate more effectively, amplify our collective impact, and develop a unified voice for public education and students across the Seattle region and beyond city limits.
