Emerging Leaders Summit
July 30-August 4
Gettysburg, PA
What is the Emerging Leaders Summit?
There’s no shortage of leadership lessons to be learned from the Battle of Gettysburg. Join colleagues from across the state this summer in Gettysburg to take part in PASBO’s Emerging Leaders Summit. The hallowed ground of the Gettysburg National Military Park becomes your classroom as we highlight leadership lessons of the past and translate them into real life situations you can relate to in the present. This program will provide you with tools you can use to improve your leadership skills at your district. We will accomplish this by exploring leadership characteristics from the officers involved in the Battle and show you how those same lessons can be applied today. Come join us for this unique leadership experience.
Is This Event Right For You?
The Emerging Leaders Summit is for people new to School Business (8 years or less of experience) who are looking to grow their leadership skills within the industry.

The cost for the attendee is travel and lodging. PASBO staff will make the reservations at the Wyndham Gettysburg for July 30 and July 31, and then the attendee will pay at check in. The room rate is $152.00 + 11% tax per night.
