Register for 2023 Leadership Through Partnership

NAIS is pleased to offer this foundational governance program to best support heads and their board chairs. NAIS Leadership Through Partnership (LTP) provides heads and board chairs dedicated time to build a collaborative relationship, learn about best governance practices, and explore the most common challenges and opportunities facing independent schools today.

Audience

LTP is an event for a head of school and their board chair/trustee. For the newly appointed head, board chair, or trustee, LTP proves particularly valuable to forge a positive and effective relationship and support leadership sustainability. For the trustee and school head with a well-established relationship, LTP offers an opportunity to gain fresh perspectives on styles of collaboration in the context of new challenges and priorities.

Topics Covered

LTP offers a variety of learning opportunities and approaches to maximize the working relationship between the head of school and board of trustees. Through a number of interactive sessions, LTP will help you:
  • Understand the basics of nonprofit and independent school governance;
  • Experience and learn the structure, strategies, and approaches to effective independent school governance;
  • Strengthen the overall board-head working relationship;
  • Develop a communications roadmap for working together on both planned strategies and unforeseen challenges;
  • Generate resources that will support concepts like developing a cadence of feedback and communication, head of school and board evaluations, and understanding the governing rules of the board; and
  • Place your school in the larger national independent school context.

Testimonials

Read what recent attendees had to say about LTP:
“Attending LTP provides the opportunity for focused, intentional work with your board chair that you are unlikely to get in other ways.” 
"It is important 1:1 time and there is so much added richness by experiencing that time next to others cultivating similar relationships."  
"It was a great opportunity to meet other heads and chairs and learn from their experiences. It also made me feel less lonely as a chair."
