The 2024-2025 ACSA Leadership Conference was held on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at the Holy Spirit Retreat. With over 50 members present, this full-day conference, facilitated by President Dr. Piedad Sanchez, produced robust conversations and effective planning for the year.
Thank you to the Region 16 Leadership participants for your continued dedication to our new theme of Leading, Lifting, Leaving a Legacy.
As the new president of this esteemed association, it is my honor to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. This year I will finish Dr. Gina Barnett’s term who has decided to step down. It is my pleasure to lead a community of dedicated professionals who are committed to the growth and success of our students. Your unwavering dedication to the students, educators, and communities we serve is truly inspiring.
