Leader to Leader
NEA’s Leader to Leader program is a practical and inspirational project designed to complement your professional learning journey. It is being designed to help us capture current leaders at their personal best as they lead others -- and to help introduce and invite future leaders to join us in the challenge of transforming public education.
From political action and membership recruitment to research and bargaining, this program is about how ordinary people can make extraordinary things happen.
