Our Members Say

"My experiences through IASB have helped a lot. The Better Boardsmanship program and Leadership Academy have helped me gain the knowledge I need to understand the information presented at board meetings. The 'classes' or 'hands on learning' sessions provided by IASB have helped me to better be able to evaluate our district’s achievement and have helped me understand just how, as a board member, I can affect the outcomes of our educational program. One other important aspect IASB offers is the opportunity to network. Getting to know other board members and administrators is valuable."

-John Fuller, Jr., board member, Colo-Nesco Community Schools
