Starting in February 2025, NAIS will engage in a long-range strategic planning process to ensure that we are meeting the evolving needs of our members. This process will involve a thorough review of our offerings, including the ways we support our members’ inclusion and belonging goals, which is key to fulfilling our mission.
Partnership
To help us with this exploration, we are partnering with MehtaCognition, a leadership and strategy consultancy with a deep commitment to independent schools and a broad understanding of NAIS as an organization. The work will be led by its founder and president, Nishant Mehta, and senior managing director, Allen Broyles.
How to Get Involved
This strategic planning work will be organized into three phases, and the first phase will be focused on research and need-finding. Member insights will be critical to this phase. We will offer several ways to gather feedback, starting with member focus groups at Thrive 2025, the NAIS annual conference. On this page and in other communication vehicles, we’ll share additional in-person and online opportunities for roundtables and focus groups throughout the year. If you’d like to be involved, please send an email to [email protected].
