The 2022 Summer Leadership Institute was held July 15-16, 2022 in Lexington. View/download a complete conference schedule and session descriptions for the most recent event. 

Friday Opening Session: Governance is very much a team endeavor that requires a compelling vision, clear communication, shared leadership, route finding, adaptability, courage, preparation and total commitment. Phil Gore, director of Board Services for the Vermont School Boards Association and avid mountain climber, shared how lessons from mountain climbing can inform effective governance. 

Saturday Plenary Session: United We Learn is the new vision for public education in the Commonwealth built around three central themes: creating a more vibrant experience for every student, encouraging innovation in schools and finding genuine ways to collaborate with local communities. Our education system is at its strongest when everyone in our state is working together, pulling in the same direction and learning together.  Jason E. Glass, Ed.D., Kentucky’s commissioner of education and chief learner, shared the evolution of this new vision and what it means for the local boards of education serving our school communities across the state.

KSBA's Summer Leadership Institute was also home to the 17th Annual Summer Conference for the Kentucky Organization of Superintendents' Administrative Assistants (KOSAA).
