This past spring, CS&A shined a spotlight on women in school leadership. Members of our Search and Consulting Group, as well as current female heads of school, shared their stories of leadership, mentorship, and their professional journeys, and offered advice and tips on preparing for leadership roles. We hope educators everywhere are inspired and motivated by these individuals and that schools continue to attract, nurture, and retain female leaders. See the full series here.
