This year, things are going to feel different. A reimagined leadership experience. Personalized pathways. Two nationally recognized keynote speakers. Plus networking opportunities for more than 1,200 board members from across Colorado, all in one room.

This year, the Annual Convention will be more interactive and immersive than ever before. Programming includes general sessions, hands-on leadership workshops, facilitated conversations, and new opportunities to connect with fellow board members from across the state. Built around four leadership pathways and the belief that Colorado’s students deserve boards that never stop getting better, this isn’t a conference you sit through.
Hear from two nationally recognized speakers whose work speaks directly to the challenges Colorado board members are navigating right now.
Explore what effective board leadership looks like in practice through breakout sessions, hands-on workshops, and facilitated conversations.
