Delegate Testimonials
This was my first time attending the National Superintendents Forum. It was a great way to broaden my perspective from just North Carolina to nationwide.
The conversations were rich with an opportunity to both share and receive best practices that are working across the country. Thank you for including me and I can’t wait for the next forum.
RTM has helped myself and our district to seek new innovative programs, etc. Our partnership has promoted opportunity for our students, staff and community to grow!! There is strength in numbers, the amount of contacts / resources I have been able to build through these events with RTM have been very beneficial for me and our district and the future of our kiddos!!
Great conference that was designed perfectly for quality networking between superintendents from different regions of the country and business partners that bring wonderful opportunities for young people.
