Educators and educational leaders are invited to a forum of learning, inspiration and calls to action during the NYSAWA Leading Forward gathering-happening July 11 and 12, 2023 at the Woodcliff Hotel and Spa in Fairport, NY.
The conference will open with a keynote address from the Commissioner of Education Betty Rosa. Rosa is no stranger to working up the leadership ladder, going from paraprofessional to the first Latina to serve at the helm of the New York State Education Department.
In addition to Rosa, attendees will also hear from a diverse group of strong women leaders:
Shanai Lee, Rochester Education Fellow
Dr. Barbara Mullen, Superintendent, Rush-Henrietta Central School District
Dr. Vicma Ramos, District Superintendent, Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES
Lynda Quick, Esq., Superintendent, Wheatland-Chili Central School District
Time will be built in before and during the conference for participants to gather, get reacquainted and build new connections-during both the opening reception from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. on July 11 (optional for any who will attend the July 12 conference) and throughout the day of the event, July 12.
