In order for us to grow, support, and sustain together as educational leaders, AWSP created the Leaders of Color Network (LOCNET). The LOCNET strives to create a safe and brave space for Black and Brown leaders by providing opportunities for members to learn together, build collegial relationships, network, and provide a sense of belonging.


AWSP strives to:

  • Support leaders of color
  • Increase allyship understanding of how to support, grow, and sustain leaders of color in leadership growth
  • Increase the voice and presence of leaders of color in the organization
  • Support and recruit aspiring leaders of color
  • Increase representation of leaders of color

"Dear Sista:" For Black Women Leaders
