Keynote Sessions

Natalie Nixon headshot

Tuesday, April 28
9:30 – 10:30 AM | Keynote Session: Natalie Nixon, PhD
Redefining Productivity and Our Relationship with Time
In this fireside chat, Dr. Natalie Nixon invites us to rethink productivity—not as constant motion or relentless output, but as a more human, sustainable practice grounded in balance and intentionality. Drawing from her book Move. Think. Rest., Dr. Nixon introduces the Move, Think, Rest (MTR) framework as a practical approach for cultivating creativity, focus, and meaningful impact in our work and lives. Through conversation and reflection, this session challenges hustle-based norms and explores how simple, often overlooked practices—such as walking, daydreaming, and engaging in meaningful dialogue—can serve as strategic pauses that unlock new ideas and better outcomes. You will leave with a refreshed perspective on time, energy, and what it truly means to flourish.

Dr. Natalie Nixon built her career by connecting dots others didn’t see—working in global apparel sourcing for The Limited Brands in Sri Lanka and Portugal, earning a PhD in design management while working full time, leading executive education programs, and spending 16 years as a professor at Thomas Jefferson University. Her experience living and working across five countries shaped her global perspective and sharpened her approach to helping teams adapt, innovate, and thrive in ambiguity. Today, Natalie is recognized as one of the top keynote speakers by BigSpeak and Real Leaders, named to the Thinkers50 Radar List, and honored by Core77 as a leader in women-driven innovation. She is the award-winning author of The Creativity Leap and the forthcoming Move. Think. Rest.

Wednesday, April 29
9:15 – 10:15 AM | Keynote Session: William (Bill) Kummel
Institutional Vital Signs: Diagnosing and Strengthening Your School’s Financial Health
Large forces are challenging the traditional economic model of independent schools. Bill Kummel presents an analytic framework grounded in performance data from more than 1,200 schools, including 185 in New England, to help identify actionable strategies for the next five years that support strong and sustainable institutional options. In this session, you will learn how to assess market position, comparative advantage, and financial performance. We will explore strategies for optimizing market, educational, and financial dynamics to support both short- and long-term success. The session will also examine the role of full-pay domestic enrollment as a keystone for program strength, enrollment stability, and philanthropic capacity.

Following the presentation, Bill will be joined in conversation by Jonathan Douglas, Chief Operating Officer at The Governor’s Academy, to explore practical applications and leadership implications. The session will include Q&A, as well as sustainability analytics by school type.

William (Bill) Kummel is a Principal of Rational Partners LLC, a New York-based management consultant in institutional economics for independent schools. His work critically evaluates near- and long-term institutional financial sustainability, market position, and comparative advantage. Rational Partners maintains a proprietary dataset of institutional sustainability on 1,200 independent schools, including 185 schools in New England. He holds an MBA and JD from Georgetown University, a BA in Architecture from Yale University, and is a graduate of Phillips Academy.

Pulse Points in Practice: Using Data Trends to Strengthen School Operations

Presented by: Eliza Alexander, Director of Research & Special Programs | AISNE, Amy Fredericks, Chief Financial and Operating Officer | Concord Academy (Concord, MA) and Chris Hui, Director of Finance and Operations | Summit Montessori School (Framingham, MA)
Many leadership teams continue to struggle with turning Insights into action. Join Eliza and fellow school leaders for a practical exploration of how Pulse Points data can strengthen strategic decision-making across your institution. In this session, we will examine emerging trends from AISNE’s latest Pulse Points surveys and hear directly from schools that are using this data to benchmark performance, refine budgets, inform compensation strategies, and guide long-term planning. Amy Fredricks and Chris Hui will share real-world examples of how their schools leverage Pulse Points to make evidence-based decisions in finance, operations, and strategic planning—and how you can do the same. Whether you’re new to Pulse Points or looking to deepen your use of the data, you will leave with concrete strategies for turning benchmarks into meaningful institutional improvements.

Strategic Partners: How Heads of School and CFOOs Shape the Future of Independent Schools

Presented by: Michael Hoyle, Chief Financial and Operations Officer and Bessie Speers, Head of School | Middlesex School (Concord, MA)
In today’s independent schools, the partnership between the Head of School and the Chief Financial and Operating Officer (CFOO) is more critical than ever. As schools navigate financial sustainability, enrollment pressures, evolving expectations from families, and the need for strategic innovation, strong alignment between mission and operations is essential. In this session, Michael and Bessie will explore how they work in close partnership to lead in future-forward ways. Drawing from their experience, they will share how they collaborate on strategic planning, financial stewardship, operational decision-making, and organizational leadership to ensure their school is both mission-driven and financially resilient. You will gain insight into how effective Head–CFOO partnerships strengthen institutional leadership, support board engagement, and position schools to thrive amid complexity and change. This session will offer practical examples, reflections on leadership alignment, and strategies that you can bring back to your own school contexts.

Innovating Employee Benefits: Emerging Trends and Strategic Partnerships

Presented by: Carol Lyon, Assistant Headmaster Business Services & Chief Financial Officer | St. Johnsbury Academy (St. Johnsbury, VT), Dean Sidell, Director Of Finance and Operations | Landmark School (Prides Crossing, MA), and a representative from Borislow Insurance.
As the employee benefits landscape grows more complex, independent schools are under increasing pressure to balance rising costs with the need to remain competitive and thoughtful stewards of their faculty and staff’s wellbeing. Health care is now the second-largest expense for most schools, after salaries, and costs continue to rise at an unsustainable pace. At the same time, school leaders are navigating significant uncertainty: medical cost inflation, lack of transparency and clarity, persistent double-digit premium increases, pharmacy cost explosion (beyond GLP-1s), regulatory complexities, and a rapidly expanding array of cost-containment strategies and vendor solutions. This session will explore the forces reshaping today’s benefits environment and what they mean specifically for independent schools. Through an engaging and practical discussion, Carol Lyon, Dean Sidell, and a representative from Borislow Insurance will examine current trends, real-world case studies, and lessons learned from schools facing similar challenges. The conversation will also highlight how strategic vendor partnerships and data-driven decision-making can help schools manage near-term pressures while building more sustainable, long-term benefits strategies.

Investing With Intent: Advanced Fiduciary Stewardship for Independent Schools

Presented by: David Smith, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer | Rockland Trust
Independent schools in New England navigate a unique intersection of mission-driven decision-making, fiduciary responsibility, and long-term financial sustainability. The strength of your investment strategy directly affects your ability to support students, faculty, programs, and facilities for generations. This session explores advanced fiduciary oversight strategies using real scenarios from educational institutions and current market conditions, David will guide you through sophisticated investment governance and risk management strategies tailored to independent schools.

ICE Encounter Training: What Independent School Leaders Need to Know Now

Presented by: Tara Walker, Partner | Fisher Phillips LLC
Independent schools are reassessing how to prepare for potential interactions with immigration authorities. In this one-hour interactive session, we will discuss how to understand private school rights and campus boundaries, verify warrants and limit access appropriately, designate and train a point person for encounters, and review key policies on student records, protests, and workforce compliance. You will leave with practical steps to strengthen preparedness, reduce risk, and respond calmly and confidently if an encounter occurs.

Evolving Financial Aid Practices: Trends, Strategies, and Insights from the Field

Presented by: Brett White, Financial Specialist | FACTS
In a time of economic uncertainty, shifting family demographics, and increasing competition for mission-aligned enrollment, this session explores the evolving landscape of financial aid in PK–12 independent schools. Brett White of FACTS will share data-driven insights into national and international trends, innovative awarding models, and emerging technologies shaping affordability and access. The session goes beyond aid calculations to examine the philosophy, goals, and best practices of effective financial aid programs. We will explore hybrid awarding models integrating need, merit, and mission alignment; strategies supporting middle-income and historically underserved families; and approaches to evaluate the impact of tuition remission on net tuition revenue and discount rates. Leigh Ann and Michelle will join Brett to share real-world experiences adapting financial aid processes to strengthen enrollment strategy, operational effectiveness, and equity.

Advancing Equity and Inclusion Across School Operations

Presented by: Jen Cort, Founder | Jen Cort Consulting and Amber Stockham, Sr. Director, Human Resources Program | NBOA
Equity and inclusion are essential to a healthy educational environment, yet operational departments—such as finance, admissions, advancement, and facilities—often lag behind in integrating inclusive practices because the roadmap is less clearly defined. In this session, we will explore how school operations shape community comfort and belonging with guidance from Jen Cort and Amber Stockham, co-designers of NBOA’s Equity and Inclusion Inventory. You will learn how to assess current operational practices and identify practical strategies to strengthen inclusivity across non-instructional areas, helping create a more welcoming environment for all members of your school community.

Navigating Economic Headwinds: Independent Schools’ Financial Outlook
Jen Crowe headshot
Presented by: Jen Crowe, Senior Director, Sales Solution Architect | TIAA
This session will examine current economic conditions and market trends, with a focus on the key indicators that most directly impact independent schools. Drawing on deep experience advising institutions on legislative changes—including the SECURE Act—and supporting TIAA clients with retirement plan strategy and institutional solutions, the discussion will provide practical insights to help you anticipate financial headwinds, assess risk exposure, and make informed strategic decisions.

Multiple Employer Plans: Insights, Strategies, and Lessons from Independent Schools

Presented by: Eva Lee, Managing Director | TIAA
Multiple Employer Plans (MEPs) are transforming retirement strategies for PreK–12 independent schools by reducing administrative burden, streamlining fiduciary oversight, and enhancing employee outcomes. This session will help schools evaluate whether a MEP is right for them and explore strategies to optimize participation, with practical insights, lessons from peer schools, and data-driven benchmarks to support informed decision-making.

Preparedness First – Crisis Management Planning for Independent Schools

Presented by: Blair Neville, Principal and Partner | Adennill
Preparedness is not optional—it is the foundation of resilience in independent schools. Crises may arise from natural disasters, intruders, disgruntled employees, or domestic disputes. Schools that plan in advance protect their students, staff, and reputation, while those that are unprepared risk confusion and harm. This session introduces a comprehensive crisis management planning framework built around eight key dimensions of preparedness: program framework, risk assessment, security, human resources, notification, emergency response, crisis communication, and school/workplace violence prevention. You will gain practical strategies for assessing vulnerabilities, enhancing communication systems, and establishing procedures that help ensure safety and stability before, during, and after a crisis.

Bringing Efficiencies to Campus Facility Operations with AI & Robotics

Presented by: Bill Rouse, President | Campus Services Group
This session explores how AI-driven tools and robotics are reshaping campus facility operations—from automating routine maintenance and custodial tasks to optimizing resource management and response systems. You will gain practical insights into emerging technologies that reduce costs, improve service quality, and free up staff for higher-impact work. Utilizing case studies, you will learn how schools are directly applying these innovations within their communities.

Beyond the Budget: Investing in People and Systems for a Sustainable School

Presented by: Michael Sandner-White, Director of Finance and Operations | Providence Country Day School (Providence, RI)
What does it really mean to build a sustainable school? While financial stability is essential, long-term success also depends on how schools invest in their people and operational systems. In this session, Michael will share how Providence Country Day School has intentionally aligned financial planning with human resource strategy—prioritizing both institutional strength and employee support. You will gain insight into how thoughtful investments in staff, benefits, professional growth, and operational capacity can strengthen your school while positioning it for the future.

11:45 AM – 12:45 PM | Topic Sessions

Leveraging AI and Technology to Transform Campus Operational Practices & Strategy

Presented by: Josh Clark, Head of School and Lisa Pelrine, Director of Admission | Landmark School (Beverly, MA)
Learn how one school is harnessing AI and technology to drive innovation across business and operations on campus. This session explores practical strategies for integrating emerging tools, overcoming hesitations, and fostering a culture of forward-thinking leadership. You will gain insights into the challenges and successes of adopting AI-driven solutions, the ripple effect of individual innovation across a school community, and collaborative approaches to transform operations in independent schools.

The Strategic Pivot: How Captives Transform Health Care Benefits from a Cost to a Strategy

Presented by: Jonathan Douglas, Chief Financial Officer | The Governor’s Academy (Byfield, MA), Walt Schaeffler, Associate Head of School for Finance & Operations | Holderness School (Holderness, NH), and Caroline Ward, Senior Director of Sales & Strategic Partnerships | Blue Benefit Administrators of Massachusetts
As health insurance costs continue to challenge independent school budgets, many schools are shifting from being passive “premium payers” to active “program owners.” This candid, peer-driven conversation explores the captive health model, not as a sales pitch, but rather as a strategic evolution in risk management. The discussion will focus on the captive model itself: why schools chose to explore a captive, what tradeoffs they considered, and how participation has changed the way they think about risk, budgeting, and long-term benefits strategy. Jon and Walt will share real experiences around governance, financial volatility, internal communication, and the cultural shift from purchasing health insurance as a transaction to managing it as a strategic asset. You will gain a clearer understanding of where captive programs can offer flexibility and control, what questions should be asked before joining, and how different structures can align (or conflict) with an institution’s risk tolerance and financial goals.

Measuring the Sea: Benchmarking with Homer

Presented by: John Harrington, Chief Financial Officer and Tim Johnson, Head of School | Pingree School (Hamilton, MA)
What happens when you read a spreadsheet like a CPA and benchmark data like a painter? In this session, we explore benchmarking through two lenses: analytical rigor and narrative meaning. From the accountant’s perspective, benchmarking clarifies ratios, trends, comparables, and risk. From the artist’s perspective, it asks deeper questions: What story is this data telling? What is it not telling? And how might it shape culture? Together we will walk through one independent school’s journey using benchmarking data from different organizations. We will examine how financial indicators, enrollment trends, compensation data, and peer comparisons moved from static reports to strategic tools. We will explore how those numbers were translated for different audiences: faculty and staff seeking clarity, trustees seeking stewardship, and a broader community seeking trust.

Sustainable Financial Planning: A Heads of School Panel

Moderated by: William (Bill) Kummel, Principal | Rational Partners LLC
Running a school is like running a state: What resources do you consume in the present rather than conserve for the future? Economic pressures, enrollment shifts, and evolving expectations require financial agility. In this session, a panel of heads of school will share the challenges and opportunities involved in crafting a sustainable economic model—drawing on scenario thinking and long-term stewardship—not only for their own institutions, but for independent schools broadly. The session will include extensive Q&A.

When the Allegation Hits: Managing School Investigations with Confidence and Care

Presented by: Kai McGintee, Managing Director | Aleta Law
When serious allegations arise, independent schools must respond quickly, thoughtfully, and in a legally sound manner—often while balancing competing demands from students, families, employees, boards, and regulators. This session will walk school leaders through the lifecycle of a school investigation, from the initial report through resolution and follow-up. Drawing on real-world scenarios, the session will explore when an investigation is required, how to structure and conduct it, common pitfalls to avoid, and how investigative decisions intersect with crisis management, communications, and risk mitigation. You will leave with practical guidance for navigating investigations in a way that is fair, trauma-informed, and aligned with legal and institutional obligations.

When the Threat Is Real-Time: Leading Through Campus Safety Decisions in an Active Crisis

Presented by: Ian Moorhouse, Chief Operating Officer and Max Pearlstein, Director of Strategic Communications | The Wheeler School (Providence, RI)
When a serious safety threat emerges near or on campus, school leaders must make rapid, high-stakes decisions with incomplete information—often while managing fear, misinformation, and operational pressure. Drawing on Wheeler’s recent experience during an active shooter incident near campus, this session examines how schools assess risk in real time, determine whether to close or reopen, coordinate with law enforcement, and communicate clearly with their communities. We will explore the gap between written emergency plans and lived reality, and gain insight into how cross-functional leadership, trust, and preparation shape effective responses when there is no perfect answer.
