About the Annual Conference
Lead Now for the Future: An introduction
The future begins just a second from now. Decisions and actions board members make today will impact not only tomorrow’s districts but generations of educators and students to come. Please join other school directors and superintendents at the 2017 WSSDA Annual Conference.
“A visionary is a leader of excellence who sees what others do not see, who achieves for now and plans for the future, who positively impacts different generations and raises up other visionaries.”
― Onyi Anyado
