The Council through our foundation LEAF, Inc. supports members by providing exceptional opportunities to expand and enrich their expertise and knowledge in the area of educational administration through statewide annual events. The Fall Leadership Summit offers keynote addresses by national experts in the fields of leadership, education and related areas; opportunities for members to share best practices with colleagues through smaller sessions; an interactive discussion with the Commissioner of Education about New York State issues and initiatives; and networking for support and collegiality among members through social interaction, group discussions, meetings and workshops. The event also hosts an exhibit hall where companies, associations, organizations and foundations can connect with school leaders from across New York State.

2023 Fall Leadership Summit
October 1 - 3, 2023
Saratoga Hilton & Saratoga Springs City Center
Saratoga Springs, NY
Register for the Fall event The Audacity to Lead for ALL where we want to live up to the promise of "All Means All," happening October 1-3, 2023 in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Join Opening Keynote speaker Dr. Manny Scott, speaker, author, servant-leader and one of the original Freedom Writers, as we focus on ways in which schools can incorporate ideas and new systems into their curriculum and culture and hear his session "The Power of One."
Dr. Scott shares his story and several eye-opening insights of how, through hard work and with the help of others, he went from being an “unreachable” and “unteachable” student to becoming a successful student, husband, father, entrepreneur, and public servant. His message inspires people to become change agents —“Page Turners”— who help others write new, more fulfilling chapters in their lives.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn how to reach your students and make school districts more effective for ALL kids. Registration now open.
