2021 MSBA LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE PREVIEW
PIVOT!
We Heard You, Loud and Clear … PIVOT! MSBA planning three-day virtual Leadership Conference in January 2021 based on member survey By Kirk Schneidawind, MSBA Executive Director
Kirk Schneidawind
MSBA gathered your feedback in August, when a survey was sent to the entire membership, and your message was loud and clear. While you want to attend the MSBA Leadership Conference in-person, due to a variety of health and safety reasons, more than half of you do not feel an in-person 2021 MSBA Leadership Conference is a viable option. “It is all about optics and preventing further spread of transmission. This will help us keep kids in school.” – MSBA member

NOVEMBER–DECEMBER 2020
Your MSBA is working with our hotel and convention center partners to come to a reasonable agreement and to identify solutions for the 2021 Leadership Conference. The health and safety of the membership, staff, exhibitors, and your communities are what is most important. So, this year we are going to “PIVOT!” We are working on plans to provide valuable information and learning opportunities to you, no matter your choice of location. Some of you may choose an option to attend virtually as a school board, others
