Reactions to the 2012 Trustees Conference:
“This was the most informative and interesting conference I have ever attended on the work of the board. Moreover, in my professional life, I can’t remember any conference with the quality of speakers who were competent, experienced, and as informative as the group assembled at the conference.”
“The content and the presenters were outstanding, and I also valued the opportunity to meet so many other people who are passionate about ‘mission driven’ education.”
