Keynote Speakers
Jamie Meade
Aug 1st
Join national consultant and presenter, Jamie Meade as she shares the science of hope! The science of hope is rapidly evolving alongside the field of neuroscience, which reveals the power of hope inside all of us! Hope is more than passive, wishful thinking. Hope empowers us to establish meaningful goals, navigate life’s uncertain, ever-changing pathways, and act with agency. In this keynote message, Jamie will share her latest research in the new science of hope, why hope matters for students and educators, and how hope is essential for visionary leadership.
Dr. Tina H. Boogren
Aug 2nd
Last year, national consultant and expert voice on educator wellness, Tina Boogren, left us wanting to learn more about this important work and we are excited that she is able to join us again this year to continue the journey! Don't miss Tina as she shares more knowledge and strategies on how educators at all levels and backgrounds can bring their very best selves to their students each day and have a big impact on those around us. We will leave this keynote feeling inspired and motivated as ready to kick off a new year with success.
