Leadership TASB: About the Program

Leadership TASB is a unique board development program designed to take experienced board members to a new
level of service and leadership by exposing them to a variety of issues, people, activities, and locations during a year-long program. The program is composed of multiple training sessions held among a cohort group of 28 to 36 applicants selected for demonstrated leadership in their local district and communities and for their representation of the diversity of Texas school districts.

Traditionally, the program has consisted of five sessions of one and a half to two days each on a weekend, with the beginning and ending sessions coinciding with annual TASB conferences. Nationally-known speakers and experts in education and business address themes such as teamwork, trusteeship, equity, diversity, and visionary leadership. Sessions rotate among different Texas cities and include visits to successful schools and innovative programs. Participants build relationships with colleagues from around the state while discovering solutions for today’s public education challenges and learning how to address the challenges the future is expected to bring.
