ELCNS Professional Learning Opportunities & Updates

Summer Conference 2026

While the Summer Leadership Conference will not be offered in August this year, PSAANS is thrilled to offer an enhanced two-day leadership learning experience this October featuring internationally recognized educator and author Dr. Shelley Moore.

Leaders will have flexible participation options, including:
• attending the annual PSAANS Conference on Friday, October 23, with keynote and breakout sessions led by Dr. Moore
• extending their learning by registering for a second full day with Dr. Moore on Saturday, October 24
• choosing to participate in either day independently

We look forward to bringing educational leaders together for what promises to be an engaging, inspiring, and impactful learning experience. More details, including guest presenter line-up, location, dates and registration information, will be shared in the coming months.

Thank you for your continued investment in your leadership growth— we can’t wait to connect with you this fall!
