Leading Together: The Head of School/Board Chair Partnership

“Leading Together” is the culmination of an AAIE project funded by the US Department of State’s Office of Overseas Schools promoting the shared leadership between the Board Chair and the Head of School to guide their school boards in effective governance.

The Leading Together pre-conference workshop provides Chair-Head teams with a clear picture of what and how they can “lead together” to ensure their Boards are meeting the challenges they face.

The "Leading Together" pre-conference workshop is open only to Board Chair-Head of School teams.
