WPEN Summer Summit
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | July 7, 2016
The Wisconsin Public Education Network (WPEN) is a project of the Wisconsin Alliance for Excellent Schools (WAES). It is a loose confederation of parents, educators, school board members, administrators, community leaders and education policy experts united behind one objective — advocating for Wisconsin public schools.
WPEN is now taking registrations for its Second Annual Summer Summit, August 23rd in Wauwatosa. Please forward this information to those board members, staff or parents in your district with an interest in advocating effectively on behalf of public school children.
The agenda includes a full day of informational breakouts led by education experts and advocacy team leaders, strategy sessions, and keynote presentations from speakers who will inspire action and deeper conversations about the value of public education to our democracy and our communities, and the need for action to ensure every child in every school has equal opportunity to succeed. The topics for these sessions, and the format of the event, has been carefully put together after polling partners of our statewide Network to identify the needs and concerns around the state. The strategy sessions will allow opportunities for people from various constituencies and various parts of the state to come together in deliberate ways to find common ground for collaborations. Our emphasis throughout the day will be on how we can work together to create local-level actions with state-level impact.
Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Tony Evers, will join us to kick off the event, and our keynote speakers are public education supporters and philanthropists John and Tashia Morgridge and President of the North Carolina NAACP and founder of the Moral Mondays movement, Rev. Dr. William Barber II.
The Summit will take place at Wauwatosa West High School from 8:30am to 5:00pm, and will be followed by a dinner event at the Tosa Pool. Registration for the Summit is $20 (includes lunch), and the dinner is an additional $20. Registration fee waivers are available for those for whom the cost is otherwise prohibitive, and those who wish to donate to this scholarship fund may do so at check-out. Early bird and group discounts are also available.
See the registration form for details and email hdb@WisconsinNetwork.org with any questions.
