Making an IMPACT: April 2025

MARCH SPOTLIGHT
Above the Fray: Building Unity While Navigating Unprecedented Political and Community Challenges
At the beginning of March, members of the Impact Group team attended the AASA National Conference in New Orleans. Partners Tom Speaks and Phil Herman had the opportunity to present on “Above the Fray: Building Unity While Navigating Unprecedented Political and Community Challenges” alongside educational experts.
In our presentation, we explored how school leaders can rise above the fray, foster unity, navigate political complexities, and remain steadfast in their mission to serve students. These dynamics are complex, and we’re here to support you in rising above these challenges.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! If you’d like to continue the conversation or learn more, contact us today.
