Each year, prior to the Joint Annual Conference, IASB offers a selection of pre-conference workshops relevant to the needs of school board members and administrators. These workshops will include a combination of LeaderShop "Core" programs, which relate directly to principles of effective school district governance, and LeaderShop "Elective" programs, which focus on additional board and board member skills and key issues affecting board work and decision-making.

Registrants for the 2010 Joint Annual Conference can choose from six full-day or two half-day workshops scheduled for Friday, Nov. 19, prior to the first general session. These workshops will require a fee ($215 for full-day workshops; $140 for half-day workshops) and advance registration.

Workshop participants will be awarded 10 Master Board Member points for a full-day workshop or 5 points for a half-day workshop in addition to the 30 points earned for Conference attendance.

Each of these pre-conference workshops will be held at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel (one level above the main lobby).

Note: Workshop attendees who do not already have a Thursday night reservation at their conference hotel may find it convenient to stay in a suburban hotel and drive in on Friday morning.
