Minnesota Administrators for Special Education (MASE) and Minnesota Association of School Administrators (MASA) present... The 2020 MASA/MASE Spring Conference MN Grown, MN Strong March 12-13 • Minneapolis Marriott Northwest • Brooklyn Park, MN One great challenge for our members at MASA and MASE is to bridge the space between our visions for the future of Minnesota's schools and the realities of today. We live in times of rapid, pervasive change—not just in the technology that affects every part of our lives, but in the fabric of our communities, the expectations of public organizations, the impacts of economic shift, and the interaction of diverse communities locally and globally. As school leaders, we are tasked with preparing students for futures of which we cannot dream. But leaders are learners, and we learn best from one another. It is that collegial support that provides a framework of best practice, demonstrating that “Minnesota Grown means Minnesota Strong.” Join your colleagues this spring and explore the best of leadership practice here in Minnesota!

Over the last several years, one significant MASE initiative has been to recruit MASE Business Partner members. This helps our association by developing relationships that can support the products ad services most likely to be of value to our programs, as well as bringing in additional revenue, helping MASE better serve our members. We have a strong and growing cadre of business partners. Discover them at: https://www.mnase.org/19-20-partnerships.html Your referrals for partner members are very appreciated! Send your referrals to John Klaber (MASE Executive Director - jpklaber@gmail.com) or Scott Masten (MASE Treasurer - smasten@lagassiz.com).
