About IASB Division Meetings
All IASB divisions hold events tailored to the professional development needs of the districts in the region. Division Meetings, typically held each spring and fall, provide opportunities for members to foster relationships and learn about Association resources to support them. Programming includes reports from Division Leadership, peer recognition, and presentations or breakout sessions on education topics of interest to school leaders in that region.
Division Meetings are among the events and activities in which members can earn points in IASB’s Board Leader Recognition Program.
View the list of Division Events and choose where you want to go.
Board members are encouraged to attend the meeting in their home division; members are also encouraged to attend meetings outside their division if a different date, site, or topic is better suited to their calendar, location, or interests. Note: Online registration requires Member Login.Fall Division Meetings
