Event Details

At the beginning of this 2025-26 school year, Minnesota leaders are being called to lead their communities while navigating an education landscape full of uncertainty and change. And yet, perhaps what is most needed right now is not to move faster, but to slow down. As Bayo Akomolafe reminds us, “The times are urgent. Let us slow down.”

Join Elena Aguilar for an opportunity to gather in community to find grounding, reflect on, and process what it means to lead in urgent times.
