As part of NCSEA’s commitment to supporting the state SEAs, the SEA Leadership Retreat helps equip SEA leaders and NCSEA Delegates with a deeper knowledge of association management as well as tools they can immediately apply at the local SEA level.
In addition, this event connects SEA leaders with NCSEA’s committees and showcases key resources for SEAs to utilize throughout the year. If you serve on your SEA’s board or are a volunteer involved with the success of your SEA, then you should attend! We are also encouraging different representatives from your SEA.
If you attended last year, consider sending someone else.
