THE NASS 2025 HONORING AND PURSUING EXCELLENCE CONFERENCE
September 10-12 Marriott on Chicago's Miracle Mile!
By all accounts, the 2024 annual conference was a genuine success, largely due to incredible member participation and support. Participants enjoyed opportunities to tap into the knowledge and experience of colleagues recognized for their successes and avail themselves of opportunities to collaborate and share resources with others facing similar challenges.
Last year’s NASS conference was one of the most engaging and inspiring gatherings I’ve attended. The keynote speakers were phenomenal, offering both practical insights and big-picture vision. The breakout sessions were packed with relevant strategies that I was able to bring back and implement right away. I also appreciated the chance to collaborate with other small district leaders facing similar challenges—those connections have continued to be a valuable support network throughout the year. ~Helio Brasil, Superintendent, Keyes Union School District
NEW PARTNERSHIP
NASS is pleased to announce an affiliation with New Era Superintendents, creating an expanded and unique membership value offering for our shared communities and technology partners.
This partnership combines NASS’s strengths in leadership resources, recognitions, and relationships with New Era’s specialized focus on increasing academic proficiency for all students through innovative solutions and a “whatever it takes” leadership.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
NASS NOW OPEN TO ASPIRING SUPERINTENDENTS
NASS was originally launched in 2009 to serve the position's unique needs and challenges by leveraging its most powerful and reliable source of support, networking with other superintendents. Until now, membership was limited to sitting and retired school district superintendents, but that changed as of February 16, 2024.
While NASS remains wholly committed to exclusively serving school district superintendents, membership is now open to educators aspiring to become superintendents.
Today more than ever, the demands of the superintendency and the increasing mobility of sitting superintendents underscores the need for superintendent candidates fully prepared for the position.
We encourage prospective superintendent candidates to join us today! The many resources include invaluable tips for that first employment contract that should not be missed! JOIN NOW!!!
