California Administrators’ Equity Alliance: Affinity Panel

Friday August 28, 2026 1:45pm - 2:30pm PDT

Join us for a powerful panel conversation where affinity groups come together to elevate shared priorities in education. In partnership with the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA), the California Association of African-American Superintendents and Administrators (CAAASA), the California Association of Asian Pacific Leaders in Education (CAAPLE), and the California Association of Latino Superintendents and Administrators (CALSA), we will highlight how collective advocacy, professional learning, and a commitment to student achievement are shaping meaningful outcomes across California. This session offers an opportunity to engage with leaders who are driving change for students, families, and educators statewide and to explore how collaboration across communities strengthens our collective voice.
