Aligning bond programs to district and community needs and the outreach necessary to garner community support is an art and a science. In this facilitated panel discussion, you’ll hear from two superintendents along with their construction manager and architect partners who have traversed the unique twists and turns of bond program scope development. Through a series of Q&As with active audience engagement, we’ll explore best practices for fostering inclusive processes, building trust, and pursuing equity.

Focus: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion/Leadership Development/Other.

Takeaways:

2. Facilitating inclusive, trust-building bond programs aligned to district and community needs
3. Ensuring all voices are heard to advance equity and enable successful bond passage.
