About this Community of Practice

Small Staff ESAs have unique strengths and challenges and this community of practice provides an important opportunity to network and learn with other similar-sized organizations. "Small Staff" is a relative term, as participant ESAs have ranged from five to 200+ employees. As a leader of an ESA of this size, we hope you will join us this year for some very powerful peer-led presentations focused on important topics such as organizational growth.

  • Joan Wade, Ed.D., Executive Director
  • John Bass, COO
  • Cole Cordell, CFO
  • Lynn Cromley, Consultant
Pricing:
