Private-independent school leaders must have a strategic vision and global understanding to manage meaningful change.

  • What demographic and philosophical changes make diversity and inclusion an imperative, rather than merely an added value?
  • What factors help you determine where your school stands on the spectrum of exclusive clubs to inclusive organizations?
  • How do you move your community strategically at a pace right for your school?
  • How do you sustain growth over time?

Join Rosetta Lee, Consultant, Educator, and Activist, to explore these questions. She will help you assemble the tools you'll need to achieve cultural competency, inclusion, and equity.
