Building and Keeping Trust Presenter: Dr. Lynn Glickman
As lead educators, we help to set the tone in our schools and often in our congregations. Part of that important work is building trust with other members of our work communities -- with our teachers, with our boards and clergy members, and with our parents. In this workshop, we’ll discuss methods for building that trust, and then for keeping it. This 9:30 am - 10:35 am breakout session is designed for Education Directors, Executive Directors, Clergy, Family Engagement and Membership Professionals.
