The Illinois Association of School Administrators and Illinois Principals Association are proud to once again partner on a five-part series designed to support female educators considering the superintendency.


Participants will listen and learn from a panel of five distinguished female superintendents. In each session, the panelists will discuss their experiences and share advice on what it takes to land that first job and how to be successful in a leadership role. A facilitator will help lead the conversation, and time will be reserved for participants to submit questions.


The sessions are free and will take place virtually via Zoom in an informal lunch setting from noon to 1 p.m. on the scheduled date. The target audience is aspiring female leaders (teachers, principals, assistant principals etc...). Please share this email with staff who would benefit from these sessions.
