Advocacy

This program is designed to empower and celebrate women in educational leadership. Participants will have the invaluable opportunity to network and explore topics on confidence, celebrating strengths and developing leadership skills.

The transition from a superintendent’s first year to sustained leadership success presents a new set of opportunities and challenges. While the initial year is often focused on learning the district, building relationships, and establishing credibility, years two through four require superintendents to deepen their leadership, navigate increasingly complex issues, and deliver on their vision for student success. Recognizing these evolving demands, LEAF and NYSCOSS are proud to expand their long-standing commitment to superintendent development through the Early Career Superintendents Institute.

We're excited to announce our next event 2026 Fall Leadership Summit: The Race For Excellence has no finish line! happening September 27-29, 2026, in Saratoga Springs, NY.
