Next-Generation Governance

Relevant Leadership for Future-ready Schools

The AMISA Governance Conference brings together board members and school leaders to explore what it means to govern with foresight, integrity, and purpose in a world of constant change. As the future our students will inherit continues to evolve, effective governance must move beyond oversight to strategic stewardship that keeps learning at the center. This conference challenges leaders to think boldly about their role in shaping adaptive, mission-driven schools—schools that are prepared not just for today’s realities, but for tomorrow’s possibilities.
