TRUSTEES FOR CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE Our commitment to enhancing civic infrastructure by encouraging, educating, and inspiring individuals of all ages throughout the county would not be possible without the continued support of our trustees. LEADERship has a small group of Trustees for Civic Infrastructure who provide an annual investment critical to the ongoing success of our program. Each investment goes directly to participant programming and results in people taking on leadership roles in the community. LEADERship, in turn, banners the names of the Trustee organizations on LEADERship publications and materials. As is almost always the case with education, tuition for the class year does not cover the cost of the program. The support from the Trustees for Civic Infrastructure allows LEADERship to keep tuition at an affordable price to maintain the diversity we seek. That also allows us to maintain the growing network of leaders who are working individually and collectively to strengthen our communities. LEADERship Ashtabula County salutes our Trustees for Civic Infrastructure, who have invested in the development of people ready to make things happen. #Trustees #LEADERshipAshtabulaCounty #CommunitySupport #CommunityPartnership

Local Governments Nurture Community Development As a school leader, I prioritized partnering with our local legislators. Why? Because they establish policy and funding for education. When I assumed my leadership role, one of my first acts was to meet with local delegation members and offer our school as a resource. We would host events such as town halls, round tables, and focus groups to assist our local delegation. In today’s video, we’ll discuss how local governments nurture community development through school district collaboration. #EducationalLeader, Kim “When students are led well, they learn well” #Educational #Leadership

While moderating a NABSE panel with members of the Governors cabinet, NC School Board, and state officials, we are reminded how segregation policies impact our schools, workforce, and talent pipeline. Intentional alignment of economic, industry, housing, and education strategies are part of the solution. We can change our cultural divisions and create a culture of leadership and opportunity. #talentdevelopment #education #opportunity #leadership

Another grantee we would like to spotlight for celebrating diversity this month is The Anti Defamation Leagues Youth Leadership Conference. Anti-Defamation League Youth Leadership Conference: Exploring Diversity. Challenging Hate. As the incidents of bullying, bigotry, and name-calling in schools have drastically increased in recent years, ADL recognizes that getting students involved in being part of the solution can create positive change in school environments. This annual conference brings together more than 500 students from 65 schools throughout Eastern PA, NJ and Delaware to participate in hands on workshops and engage in dialogue about difference, the challenges and opportunities diversity brings, and how they can make their schools and communities more inclusive places for all. They return to their schools with practical skills to become leaders and agents of change. The ADL is the leading provider of anti-bias education and diversity training programs that help create and sustain inclusive school, community and work environments. The Foundation is committed to investing in young people today to create more harmonious schools and communities tomorrow. #DiversityMatters #InclusionForAll #CelebrateDiversity #UnityInDiversity #EmbraceDifferences #EqualityNow #DiverseWorld
