2016Nov. 13-16, Capital 2016 Greater Columbus Conference Convention Center Meet the challenges of servant leadership at the 2016 OSBA Capital Conference

In 1956, OSBA hosted its first statewide conference. Since then, hundreds of thousands of public education leaders have enhanced their skills at what has become one of the nation’s premier education conventions — the OSBA Capital Conference and Trade Show. The 61st annual conference, which is expected to draw more than 9,000 attendees, is set for Nov. 13-16 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. I had the opportunity to speak to a leadership class at Wright State University-Lake Campus after traveling around the state for the OSBA spring conferences. After I finished, students discussed the roles of school boards. They concluded that school board members are servant leaders. Servant leadership isn’t afraid to stay engaged with difficult issues, be it ever-changing funding models, charged political or social issues or criticism from those who would seek to dismantle public education. What drives us is our commitment to the most important asset we have: our children and their future. How do we remain ready to meet the challenges of servant leadership? We do it through engagement, collaboration and top-quality continuing education, all of which you will find at the 2016 Capital Conference. The conference offers: l Highly acclaimed keynote speakers bringing their insights and inspiration to the General Sessions, Early Bird Workshop, OSBA Black Caucus dinner and Conference Luncheon. l More than 150 workshops, seminars and learning sessions focusing on the latest challenges facing public education. l The 18th annual Student Achievement Fair, showcasing Ohio’s top student programs and entertainment groups. l The largest education trade exhibition in the nation, filled with all the goods and services school districts need to succeed. l Countless opportunities to network with education leaders from around the state and beyond to share challenges, ideas and solutions. As a committed continuous learner, I encourage you to join me at the OSBA Capital Conference. Come, get involved, see innovative ideas and share your experiences. Together we can make a difference in public education in Ohio. I look forward to seeing you and your leadership team in November.

For six decades, the OSBA Capital Conference and Trade Show has delivered forward-looking professional development to you and your school management team. It has become a cornerstone for helping create the best possible learning environment for students. This annual event provides the training, information and resources you need to meet the countless, ever-changing tasks and issues facing Ohio’s public schools. In other words, school board members, administrators and staff must be committed to lifelong learning. With that focus, the conference — in its 61st year — draws over 9,000 people to Columbus for four days of learning, sharing and fellowship that leave attendees committed to their students, schools and communities.

Expanded learning opportunities The Capital Conference is full of valuable learning options, including inspiring and enlightening keynote speakers and more than 150 learning sessions, workshops and seminars led by top experts in their fields. The conference is the only professional development event in Ohio aimed at meeting the needs of public school management teams. This year, a new time slot of learning sessions — the “core curriculum” of the conference — has been added to Monday and Tuesday. Also, four free sessions led by OSBA experts have been added to Sunday afternoon.

Find out what works The Capital Conference brings you countless opportunities to network, share ideas and seek solutions with education leaders from Ohio and elsewhere. The 18th annual Student Achievement Fair, highlighting the best student programs in the state, will feature 100 booths, as well as student musicians and an art display. The Trade Show, the largest education-related trade exhibition in the U.S., offers more than 550 vendor booths displaying goods and services your district needs to succeed.

Speakers who engage and inspire The General Session speakers are actor and activist Ernie Hudson; education advocate Steven Michael Quezada, an award- winning actor who currently serves as a school board member in New Mexico; and Emmy-winning journalist and TV host Leeza Gibbons. The Early Bird Workshop opens the conference with Jeff Nischwitz, who has been “waking up” business and association audiences across the country with his messages about conscious leadership. The first Conference Luncheon will bring you together with peers for a collaboration event. Archie Griffin, the former Ohio State University running back and college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, will speak at the second luncheon. The OSBA Black Caucus dinner will feature Dr. Rodney D. Coates, a professor and director of the Black World Studies program at Miami Univeristy.

A learning experience like no other With the numerous challenges facing public school leaders, the Capital Conference is the “must-attend” event of the year. The lessons it provides will benefit your schools for years to come. The money invested in training will repay itself through increased student achievement and more efficient district operations. Commit to leading your school district into the future. Be a lifetime learner and register for the Capital Conference today. 1 Inspiring General Session speakers
