AMISA’s Strategic Direction Highlight
Where Does AMISA Focus?
“We will focus on where AMISA’s regional roots and human connection matter most: talent development - professional learning, data use, and pooled services.”
During the 2026-2027 academic year, AMISA will be rolling out a new Data Service that will allow AMISA Member Schools to use data to benchmark and gain valuable insights for school operations and academics. In addition, we will be offering a pooled employee health insurance option for our member schools.
Professional Learning
This year we are proud to offer more digital credential badges than ever before, alongside our annual conferences and virtual symposiums. Check out all our Learning Events via the link below:
