Here's some of what you'll choose from: 

Zoo Atlanta 

Engaging the Community – Zoo Atlanta and School Programs

Five cultural institutions in Atlanta partnered together to create a STEAM series to provide unique resources and curricula related to the Georgia Standards of Excellence.

Marietta City Schools Student Life Center

Pivoting to Make it Work: The Marietta Student Life Center Story

Going back to the basics to redefine our community’s needs and reimagining our efforts using a Community School lens has ensured we continue making an impact on those we serve. We will talk about our journey and why the Center’s work will never stop changing. 

National Center for Civil and Human Rights

The National Center for Civil and Human Rights’ (NCCHR) multi-sensory public experience stokes curiosity and imparts essential knowledge about the civil and human rights movements. Working with schools, school systems, and leaders in education, NCCHR shares civil and human rights expertise through onsite engagements, teacher workshops, and community partnerships.

AESA Executive Council Election

For the first time in over a decade, the Central Region is having a primary election for the AESA Executive Council. A primary election occurs when there are more than two candidates for a region. There are three nominations for the Executive Council from the Central Region; therefore, a primary election will be held from October 10 – 31.

Primary ballots will be electronically sent to the CEO of our members from the Central Region. The states that make up the central region include Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Once the slate is reduced to two people, there will be a national election to decide the next Central Region Executive Council member. 

Please review the candidate biographies here. 

Dr. Tammy Campbell is a respected educational leader, former superintendent, and CEO of Scholar First.

In this professional learning series, she will share her expertise gained from scholarship and real-life achievements with our ESA leaders and the superintendents from their region.
