The People of Color Conference is the flagship of the National Association of Independent Schools' commitment to equity and justice in teaching and learning. The mission of the conference is to provide a safe space for leadership and professional development and networking for people of color and allies of all backgrounds in independent schools. PoCC equips educators at every level, from teachers to trustees, with knowledge, skills, and experiences to improve and enhance the interracial, interethnic, and intercultural climate in their schools, as well as the attending academic, social-emotional, and workplace performance outcomes for students and adults alike.
Each year, the CASE-NAIS Independent Schools Conference draws more than 1,000 advancement professionals from around the world to learn about strategies and opportunities that will enhance donor and alumni outreach at independent schools. NAIS members receive a discount on registration for this event.
