Keynote Speaker - Kerry Purcell
One of the featured principals in the compelling PBS documentary The Principal Story, Kerry Purcell is noted for her work around data interpretation/analysis, building professional learning communities, and creative use of fiscal, human and time resources to support school improvement. Known as a "turn-around principal," Kerry's work also involves outreach with the intent to share the story of leadership in an effort to educate others about the impact of principal leadership.
NAESP President-Elect - Robyn Conrad Hansen, Ed.D.
“'Proud to be a Principal' is a statement that rings true for me every day. All school leaders are facing many challenges during this time of close scrutiny and increased accountability at both the state and federal levels. Now more than ever, educators must come together to face these opportunities with renewed commitment and enthusiasm. As administrators, we are promoting exemplary education to better prepare our youth to be world-class citizens and productive members of society. Together with our teachers, we are promoting a more rigorous and relevant classroom experience for learners. Principals are setting examples of strong leadership. We need to inspire and mentor new leaders. Our administrators are working toward Vision 2021, and I am very proud to serve as your President-Elect for NAESP.
