Leadership forLearning Ohio School Boards Association 2017 Capital Conference Nov. 12-14, 2017 Greater Columbus Convention Center Stay committed to continuous learning at the 2017 OSBA Capital Conference

After more than a decade of school board service and professional development, I continue to find that I have much to learn. With so many challenges facing public education today, its leaders must do everything possible to boost their knowledge and skills. One of the nation’s premier education conventions — the OSBA Capital Conference and Trade Show — has helped thousands of board members, superintendents, administrators and others meet those challenges head-on for more than six decades. Set for Nov. 12-14 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the Capital Conference delivers the top-quality education, engagement and collaboration needed to serve the best interests of our districts’ students. Their welfare and achievement should be our top priority. I attended my first Capital Conference just a few days after my election to the Streetsboro City Board of Education in 2005. There was much to learn then — and now. I return every year and take advantage of what the Capital Conference offers: l highly admired keynote speakers who inspire during the General Sessions, Monday Lunch and Learn and OSBA Black Caucus dinner; l more than 150 workshops, learning sessions and seminars focused on solving the current challenges facing public education; l the 19th annual Student Achievement Fair, highlighting Ohio’s top student programs and entertainment groups; l the largest education trade exhibition in the nation, with all the goods and services a successful district needs; l countless opportunities to exchange ideas with your peers. Highly trained and effective school board members, administrators, teachers and staff have a strong impact on children’s learning and school district success. Commit to continuous learning at the OSBA Capital Conference and Trade Show. I look forward to seeing you in November.

A first- generation American of Latin descent, Manzano came to New York during her junior year at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and starred in the original off-Broadway production of “Godspell.” Within a year, she was writing scripts for “Sesame Street.” Manzano, who was twice nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in a Children’s Series, did not have a lot of resources growing up. But she never gave up. Her memoir, “Becoming Maria: Love and Chaos in the South Bronx,” details her life-changing moments. A staunch advocate for education, she shares her extraordinary talent to help children succeed. Monday’s Opening General Session sponsors are CompManagement, Ennis Britton Co. LPA, Pepple & Waggoner Ltd., Ross Sinclaire & Associates LLC and Scott Scriven LLP. Closing General Session Josh Radnor — “How I Met Your Mother” actor and writer and director Tuesday, Nov. 14, 3 p.m. Josh Radnor is best known for his role as Ted on the Emmy Award-nominated CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” but the Ohio native also has established himself as a gifted writer and director. The Bexley City Schools graduate has written and starred in two feature films, “Liberal Arts” and “Happythankyoumoreplease.” Both films premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, with “Happythankyoumoreplease” winning the 2010 Audience Award for favorite U.S. drama. Radnor believes in the importance of a strong liberal arts education, which led to his success. He attended Kenyon College, where he won the Paul Newman Trophy for acting, and earned a Master of Fine Arts from New York University’s Tisch School of Arts. In addition to film and TV, Radnor starred on Broadway in “The Graduate” opposite Kathleen Turner and Alicia Silverstone. He currently is playing Lou Mazzuchelli in the NBC drama “Rise,” based on the inspiring true story about a dedicated drama teacher and family man.

2 2 Special events offer fresh insights Monday Lunch and Learn InSideOut Initiative — Transforming the lives of students Monday, Nov. 13, 12:15 p.m. The scoreboard often defines today’s win-at-all-costs sports culture, where youth sports have evolved into an $8 billion industry requiring significant financial and emotional investment by parents. The InSideOut Initiative aims to change this culture, which has become more focused on adults than kids. While winning is an important goal, InSideOut co-founders Joe Ehrmann and Jody Redman encourage the educational, social and emotional well-being of student-athletes across all sports. Supported by the NFL Foundation, InSideOut has many educational partners, including OSBA, the Buckeye Association of School Administrators and the Ohio High School Athletic Association, which are working to reclaim the educational purpose of sports. Ehrmann, a former NFL defensive lineman, is author of “InSideOut Coaching: How Sports Can Transform Lives.” Redman, a former collegiate basketball player, oversees education programs for 500 member high schools as associate director of the Minnesota State High School League.
