We’re excited to announce our first #FutureChiefs Twitter chat on November 14 from 2 to 3 pm ET. We’ll have a discussion around this central question:
What will it take to grow the pipeline of talented, diverse education systems leaders?
The discussion will focus on these topics:
- The importance of coaching trees and how mentoring can prepare effective, diverse leaders for top roles in education.

- Why the Chiefs for Change model for the Future Chiefs program works.
