The Leadership Conference, newly revised for 2006, will take place June 16-17, at the Princeton Marriott Hotel and Conference Center at Forrestal, Princeton

The cornerstone of NJSBA’s Board Member Academy Certified Board Leader (CBL) tier, the Leadership Conference offers intensive training focusing on theory and practical skills that will help you—

• Improve your board’s internal communications.
  
  
• Define your role as a board leader.
• Focus your board on its mission and goals.
  
  
• Understand how the physical environment of a board meeting affects public perception of the board.
  
  
• Use data and research to address school district problems.
  
  
• Inspire change, and ultimately move your district from good to great.

Michael Chirichello, chairman of William Paterson University’s educational leadership department, will conduct an interactive session on overcoming resistance to change. In addition, the training will draw from the work of Jim Collins, a former Stanford professor and expert on management research, and from the National School Boards Association’s “Key Work of School Boards.”

Don’t miss this special opportunity to learn how you can be the type of leader your team will gladly follow.
