How to Register

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW
  1. Only ONE Person per school needs to register ONE time for the entire Governance Series.
  2. At the time of registration, you MUST enter in the names and emails of your school's Head and Board Members.
  3. To do this, select both the "Member" and  "Register Your Attendees" tickets. There are additional instructions on the registration page.
  4.  If you do not do this, your school's Head and Board Members will NOT be able to access the Governance Series.
 
→Only one registration and payment is needed per school for full access to the 10.5 hours of online governance programming and recordings for your Head of School and Board Members. ONCE THIS REGISTRATION IS COMPLETE, YOUR SCHOOL'S HEAD AND BOARD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERED FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES.
→However, the primary registrant MUST fill in the names and emails for the school's Head and Board Members at the time of registration. Select the Register Your Attendees ticket and enter in the number of  people you are registering. You can select TBD for names you don't have yet.
→ Each individual registrant will receive a confirmation e-mail with a customized secure meeting link the registration is complete.
→The Head of School and each Board Member must use that customized secure link from their confirmation e-mail to join the Zoom meeting. Without this unique link, the Head and Board Members will not be able to join the sessions.  No one should share their unique link, as this will cause issues with accessing the meetings.
 
→The primary registrant will not need to distribute any links to the Head of School and Board Members  for them to access the sessions.
 
All sessions will be recorded and the link to the recordings will be 
shared following each session. The recordings will be available for viewing through June 30, 2025 after which the links will expire.
