Brockport Central School District Superintendent Dr. Lesli C. Myers and Victor Central School District Superintendent Dr. Dawn A. Santiago-Marullo are among 25 women superintendents and leaders from the nonprofit community across the country who have been selected to participate in the 2018 AASA National Women’s Leadership Consortium.
Established in 2016 by The School Superintendents Association as part of the Women in School Leadership Initiative, the consortium is designed to bring together successful women leaders to identify and address barriers women face when aspiring to top leadership positions in K-12 education.
“If we’re serious about improving public education and raising academic outcomes, we need to create pathways and build new strategies for women educators who are seeking to excel in education administration,” said Daniel A. Domenech, executive director, AASA. “We are excited about this program. I applaud the outstanding women leaders who will comprise the 2018 National Women’s Leadership Consortium.”
AASA has partnered with Horace Mann to relaunch the Consortium in 2018, providing new opportunities for more women leaders to participate. With the relaunch, the Consortium has increased in size from 10 to 25 members.
“Participation in this consortium opens the door to professional collaboration with educational leaders throughout the country,” Santiago-Marullo said. “Being able to share ideas and best practices will be extremely valuable not only to me, but more importantly the students of Victor Central School District.”
