Join fellow North Carolina public school leaders in Pinehurst, NC for a powerful two-day event designed to recharge your leadership and reignite your school's culture.  Leading with Purpose brings together school leaders from across the state for deep learning, collaboration, and inspiration on December 9-10, 2025.  

We're thrilled to welcome two nationally renowned keynote speakers:

• Jimmy Casas, best-selling author and educational leader, will challenge us to reflect on whether the words on your school walls align with the culture we truly create.  In his compelling keynote, Jimmy explores how intentional leadership, kindness, and accountability can transform our schools into places where every student and staff member feels seen, heard, and valued.
• LaVonna Roth, creator of Ignite Your S.H.I.N.E.®, brings the energy with her engaging keynote, Engage Me, Please...Using Brain-Powered Learning.  With student behavior challenges increasing and engagement decreasing, LaVonna offers researched-based, brain-aligned strategies that work across all grade levels and content areas.  Principals will leave with high-impact tools to energize classrooms and faculty meetings, modeling instructional leadership with immediate takeaways.  Get ready to say goodbye to sit-and-get!  

Don't miss this opportunity to connect, grow, and lead boldly!
