At AWSP, we are committed to growing, supporting, and sustaining educational leaders through the creation of the Leaders of Color Network (LOCNET). This initiative is designed to provide a safe and brave space for Black and Brown leaders, fostering opportunities for collaborative learning, relationship building, and a strong sense of belonging. Through LOCNET, AWSP aims to support leaders of color, enhance allyship, amplify diverse voices, and increase representation within our organization. We strive to support and recruit aspiring leaders of color while ensuring their presence and leadership are integral to our GLLCs, AWSP/WSPEF Board, and Advisory Councils.
Happening in the fall, this event is designed for school and district leaders to network with other leaders of color during an afternoon of connection, healing, and support. Registration is free and includes the WOW Gallery Exhibit experience and light refreshments.
Whether you’re a seasoned principal, an aspiring leader, district leader, or an educational partner, this event is tailored to inspire, connect, and grow your leadership journey. The theme of the Summit is “We hear you. We see you. We need you.” The confernence takes place each spring.
In response to a request from one of our leaders, AWSP created “Dear Sista,” an affinity group space for Black women leaders. The title Dear Sista is a tribute to Veronica Very’s book of poems that speaks to truth, healing, and supporting the sisterhood. The group meets monthly via Zoom. There is no cost to register.
