Preconvention
If the aim of education is to develop the whole student, as Arts Supervisors we must connect our whole selves to the work we do. Engaging in practices that enrich inner life with outer experience is essential. When connection is missing, we can feel alone and isolated. There is no place where this feels truer than in arts administration.
Spend a day with colleagues across the arts during the 2024 National Art Education Association Convention. Immerse yourself in the important topics of today and focus on connecting—to your organization, your community, and yourself. Discover new support and companions to ensure you have the resources needed for your upcoming school years. Learn how building networks across organizations can help us work at the peak of our ability and pave the way for student success!

Breakout Discussions
A Deep Dive Before Springing into Action
Connect with colleagues, while rotating in breakout groups. Topics will reflect the morning panel and allow for deeper discussions leading to intentional action. The overall takeaway will be one of reciprocity in order to build out suggestions for the S&A Division to contribute to NAEA member needs, as well as facilitate inquiry and solutions-based movement amongst S&A peers.
Interactive Panel Discussion

Reinvigorate your why in this facilitated dialog with celebrated community artists. Listen in on how you as an arts leader can harness your power of influence to break down barriers and silos through inclusive community artist initiatives. Time will be allotted throughout for audience Q&A segments.
