Leader’s Day Speaker
This Isn’t Easy–Help, Anyone?
Panel discussion with Melody Congdon and Keith Phillips.
The position of school administrator requires many skill sets. One must be an organizer, an inspirer, a visionary, a planner, and a prayerful servant-leader. There are many unique situations to navigate along the way. Three panelists who have each served as administrators of their schools for over 20 years will share some of the lessons learned throughout their tenures. Mistakes made along the way and ‘best pieces of advice’ will be among the topics shared. Question and answer time will be provided to pursue the ideas in more detail.
