Stories of women in education and their legacy of leadership, a retreat for women leaders, an opportunity for learning, sharing, and reflection. 

Stories are data with soul. (Brene Brown)

This summer, join us for our third annual Legends conference. Our theme this year is “The Heart of Our Stories,” and our sessions will invite participants to reflect on their leadership journeys, learn new skills to support their own transformations, and create their futures from their stories. Once again we will tell our stories, learn from our speakers and one another, build our network, and emerge with new perspective.
