Academic Leaders Regional Forums

New for 2025

Creating Space for Connection: Bringing Academic Leaders Together through Regional Forums

The Association for Academic Leaders is dedicated to creating spaces where Academic Leaders can come together, share experiences, and tackle the challenges facing schools today. In 2025, we’re delivering on this commitment with a series of Regional Forums, hosted at member schools across the country.

This new Regional Forum format will allow us to offer the interactive connections and inspiring opportunities that our members valued in our Annual Forum, but with the flexibility and convenience of a single day schedule, multiple dates across the winter and spring, and greater geographic diversity when it comes to location.

What to Expect at a Regional Forum

Our Regional Forums are designed to provide Academic Leaders a day to learn, reflect, and strategize around the top issues facing schools today. This year, we will explore how Academic Leaders can employ generative AI in their work and how schools can deliver on their mission by building and supporting a strong academic leadership structure. Each session will provide actionable takeaways that you can bring back to your school community.

There will also be time for networking and connecting with other Academic Leaders, learning about key initiatives underway at the host school, and exploring each host school’s community.

Interested in learning more about Regional Forums and the Association for Academic Leaders? Send us an email and set up time to chat One Schoolhouse’s Chief Operating Officer, Erin Rehel.
