Principals Leadership Conference

Annual Conference for Leaders in Education

Nurturing Voice & Vision

 

The annual conference welcomes school principals, district leaders, parents, arts & community members, development staff, and arts advocates in Southern California. The conference encourages leaders in education to share, learn, and plan strategic goals to successfully explore music program growth across schools, districts, and local communities.

By the end of the Principals Leadership Conference, attendees leave with the knowledge and understanding of the impact of music education, transformative leadership, measurable involvement, and strategic planning for music program sustainability.

"Thank you for creating a fun space where we could step outside our comfort zone and experience music."
"It was eye-opening to hear how there are more solutions out there and now I’m aware of quite a few ideas to walk through."
"Please continue providing these conferences. They’re a breath of fresh air."
