Delegate Testimonials
The RTM conference was incredibly well organized with a plethora of topics and information that is valuable for Superintendents. The discussions with other practicioners will illuminate strategies for improvement and ideas for improvement consideration. The conference is definitely worth your time!
This has been an outstanding conference. The setup has made every meeting and session very intentional supporting the specific needs at my district.
RTM has exceeded my expectations. In all my 20 years of attending various conferences and workshops, I learned more at RTM on day 1 alone, and there are 2 more days of this conference! RTM has hit it out of the ballpark!!
I only through the first day and I can already say that this event will have provided a catalyst for change with speed I wouldn’t have had without this experience.
