Influence Through Insight: Cultivating Your Relationship with Board Leaders

A virtual session for Local Leaders and Councillors - November 7, 2023 - 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM

Transitioning from being a school principal to being a school principal who is also the local OPC President can be complex. In this virtual session, all interested presidents will gain better insight into how to best deepen their influence and relationship with the senior team and Director of Education. The goals for the session will be to (i) understand the context for district work, (ii) become more familiar with the board governance model and how that impacts district culture, and (iii) explore strategies that enable a productive working relationship with the senior team. There will also be time dedicated to your questions to support you in your role.
