The Leadership Fusion: Summit for School Leaders features national speakers who are at the forefront of educational leadership.

This year's guest presenter is Todd Nesloney, an award-winning education leader, author, and international speaker!
Find Out What's Best for Kids and Do It!
Working in an environment where almost 90% of students were on free-and-reduced lunch, Nesloney faced many challenges that he overcame through persistence, innovation, and a passion for doing what’s best for kids, despite the limitations.
Provided More Than 17K Books for Students!
One innovative project included hosting one of the largest book fairs in Scholastic’s history, which provided students with more than 17,000 books to take home.
Discover Nesloney's formula for success, including ideas and strategies for motivating teachers and staff and cultivating a transformative learning environment for students.
