KSBA Regional Meetings represent one of the association’s oldest and most cherished traditions. For nearly 90 years, Regional Meetings have provided board teams a more local opportunity to actively participate in in-person training and discussion of timely education issues.
Each fall, KSBA’s 12 Regional Directors (members of the association's board of directors, elected by regional members) host regional meetings for association members, district staff and friends of education. KSBA's regional meeting tour of the state allows members to gather in closer proximity to the local communities they serve. These short format programs offer an evening of networking and board training in an intimate setting, providing an ideal environment to address issues in a manner tailored to particular areas of the state. KSBA also invites legislators, Kentucky Board of Education members, KSBA affiliate members and other state and regional leaders.
Dinner is provided to registered attendees (billed by the host district). Regional meetings are traditionally good for 1.25 hours of state-mandated school board training credit.

2024 Program description
This year’s after-dinner program will cover a number of topics, headlined by conversation about Amendment 2. In November, Kentucky voters decide whether legislators should have new authority to direct public tax dollars to private schools and other non-public education services. Board teams will learn how to address the proposed constitutional amendment with their local communities and gain a better understanding of the impacts on local public schools and the students they serve.
Meeting attendees will also receive updates from KSBA on changes to state-mandated training requirements and other association news.
