In September, our 2024-2025 Forum Speaker Series season kicks off with a timely discussion about public education in our community, just as students and teachers are returning to classrooms for a new school year.

At this Forum, we'll hear from distinguished leaders of our public education systems and institutions about the incredible potential that lies ahead for students and educators, visions of what education will look like in the coming years, as well as the current and future obstacles the education industry is and will be tasked with overcoming.
