How can you tap into the rich artistic, cultural, and creative resources of your community to create buzz about what’s happening in your learning environments? What should your priorities be, and how should you develop strategies to achieve those priorities? How can you make the transition from being “nice” for your community, to being necessary?
These are big questions that require big ideas. Fortunately, this year’s Annual Conference has been designed to help you develop answers to your most pressing questions. After hearing practical advice and first-person success stories, you will come away with concrete actions you can take to engage people of all cultures, provide powerful learning experiences, and become valuable and essential partners in addressing key local, national and global issues through the blending of art and science.
