Select from one (or all) of these communities to find a network that will support you and your professional learning.
Small Staff ESA Community of Practice

The Small Educational Service Agency (ESA) Community of Practice is your place to network and learn with other ESAs with few employees. This network will invite speakers from other ESAs to lead conversations about their work as practitioners. The community of practice is your think tank to generate ideas on growing your services and expanding your practices. The goal for this community of practice is to learn from ESAs of similar size. High-quality services are delivered from small organizations. Meetings are held all year long.

Entrepreneurial ESA Community of Practice

The purpose of this network is to learn with other Entrepreneurial ESAs as a Community of Practice.

Sessions will be held virtually six (6) times per year, 90-minutes each session. Additionally, the network participants will be intentional about meeting at AESA national events.

Women In Leadership Community of Practice

The ESA Women in Leadership Network is a forum for women leaders to strengthen their leadership by networking, problem-solving, and creating their future.

This year, ESA Women in Leadership will focus on the following three topics: Leadership Success, Leadership Growth Through Negotiations, and Authentic Leadership for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. The open-guided discussions will include pre-reading of a book to center the discussion. Each cohort will meet virtually for six 90-minute sessions.

Registrations are limited to 25 participants per cohort. Visit our website for information and registration
Executive Assistants to the CEOs Community of Practice

Supporting the leader of an organization is a unique, rewarding, and sometimes challenging role. Networking with others who serve in the same role can prove to be invaluable both professionally and personally. The Executive Assistant to CEOs Community of Practice is for individuals who directly support the ESA leader and governing board.
