THEME: This year’s Summit centers on a deceptively simple yet profoundly impactful theme: Listening.
In a noisy world, listening is not passive - it’s an intentional act of leadership. Turn down the volume and tune in to the voices that matter most—the people we serve. Together, let’s amplify the power of listening to transform education, strengthen communities, and shape a more connected future for career and technical education in Minnesota.
Why listening, and why now?
The pace of change continues to accelerate. To adapt and innovate effectively, we must listen closely to the needs, challenges, and aspirations of those we serve.
The most impactful solutions often come from those closest to the problems. Listening amplifies voices that have too often been marginalized and overlooked.
Data speaks volumes - if we’re attuned to hear it. Sharpening our listening skills helps us glean actionable insights from the wealth of information at our fingertips.
