Want to catch up with what your neighboring school boards are doing? Have an interest in a special topic or issue? Want to meet your IASB leadership?

You can do all of this and more by attending one of this year's fall division meetings. These IASB division events are close by, reasonably priced, and well worth your time.

Beginning Tuesday, Sep. 11, and concluding Monday, Oct. 29, the division meeting schedule is available at IASB's online Events Calendar. You can search the entire calendar or select from the drop-down menu by division, area, event type, subject or keyword.

Whether you are a veteran board member, recently elected or appointed, the semi-annual division meeting is the perfect opportunity to learn more about school board service. IASB field service directors, your division officers, and other IASB staff and guests will be on hand to present information, field questions, and to greet local school representatives.

This is also when you can learn more about school board training opportunities, the upcoming Joint Annual Conference and Delegate Assembly resolutions, hear reports from IASB's board of directors and division officers, and recognize those board members receiving Master Board Member and School Board LeaderShop awards.

Many of the division meetings also offer a variety of breakout panel sessions. These presentations range from school law and finance to state funding and legislative proposals, and most every school management issue in between.

Finally, the division meetings are designed to create a relaxed social setting where school board members and superintendents can enjoy dinner and network. These informal conversations are often the best way school leaders can discuss how their districts are faring in the common challenges and opportunities that face public education.

Information about fall division meetings is mailed to every school board member and district office. Watch your mail in the coming weeks for a brochure that will explain where and when your division event is scheduled and how to register.
