Leadership Associates offers a range of programs designed to enhance board effectiveness, leadership alignment, and organizational performance:

We assist school boards in crafting annual board priorities and using those priorities to drive actions and monitor progress.

We assist school boards in conducting self-evaluations and operationalizing the results into actionable steps.

- Conflict Facilitation: We develop systems for managing conflicts and crises and provide advisement during a crisis emphasizing appropriate, sensitive communication throughout the system.
