Welcome & Introductions

Keynote: Make the Clear Move: Leadership in Complex Times

Today’s leaders face complexity from every direction including emerging technologies, shifting policies, and rising community expectations. The leaders who thrive are those who translate complexity into clear direction that empowers action. Every leader will face moments when the next move matters most, and how they respond influences the impact on student success. Marlon Styles shares his insight as a former superintendent, now national public speaker and author of the new book, “Making Your Move: For Ambitious People Ready to Live Their Aspirations”.
