The Forum for Educational Leadership was founded by a highly experienced group of education leaders to prepare new leaders, address the looming leadership deficit, and provide a focused supplement to traditional superintendent training and certification programs.
Driven to address the leadership deficit, The Forum employs a comprehensive development model to prepare cohorts of leaders for the academic, political, legal and logistical rigors inherent to K-12 education.
