Events

Join fellow academic leaders for two days of thought-provoking programming, intentional connection, and energizing reflection.

The AISNE Academic Leadership Symposium is designed specifically for those who lead from the middle: department chairs, division heads, and deans of academics, curriculum, faculty, and teaching and learning. These roles require a unique blend of leadership presence, managerial skill, and relational strength—and this gathering is crafted with all of that in mind.

This event is designed as a symposium: a gathering or meeting of people with shared roles and goals, focused on important topics, collaboration, and learning. Throughout this experience, you will:

• Explore the real-world complexities of academic leadership in independent schools
• Reflect on your personal leadership style and goals
• Strengthen your feedback and communication skills
  
• Connect with peers who share your role, challenges, and aspirations
  
• Develop a practical action plan to bring new insights back to your school

The symposium includes:

Structured sessions led by expert facilitators Jennifer Bryan and Hassan Wilson
Role-based discussions and collaborative problem-solving
Optional evening networking for deeper connection and community building
Ongoing connection points, including two virtual sessions 

This is your space to refocus, reimagine, and reconnect—with your peers, your purpose, and your potential.
