K-12 leaders are constantly finding new ways to make work easier, more connected, and more efficient—but the best ideas often come from talking with people who are solving the same challenges. Join us for a casual networking lunch with leaders from Alief ISD, Harris County Department of Education, and other local districts.
The event will feature an open, peer-driven conversation about the processes that slow districts down, how IT, Human Resources, and business offices can work together to evaluate and implement new technology, and what it takes to help people successfully adopt new workflows.
