CHALLENGE CULTIVATE MINDS CHARACTER NURTURE SHAPE THE GROWTH FUTURE ENCOURAGE INSPIRE EXPLORATION LEADERSHIP STRENGTHEN SPARK COMMUNITIES CREATIVITY The 2012–13 year was memorable not only because NAIS named a new president, John Chubb, but because it launched Inspiration Lab, an online showcase for creativity at independent schools. Every day, independent schools pioneer new approaches to teaching and learning, delivering engaging educational experiences to their students and serving as labs of innovation for all schools. Throughout this annual report, we mention some of these stories, but you can find many more at www.inspirationlab.org. We hope you will continue to contribute your own stories. John Chubb has traveled across the nation to introduce himself and learn firsthand member interests and concerns. In a presidential transition, an organization has the opportunity to stretch and renew itself, reinforcing its identity and reenergizing for the future. Thanks to the input of our members, the support of our volunteers and funders, and the vision of a new president, NAIS stands ready to continue its mission of strengthening the independent school community and communicating its value to the public.
