Mr. Skorpanich will be able to select from sessions specific to recruitment and strategic leadership in human resource practices for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

This summit will allow Mr. Skorpanich to develop professionally by beginning the conversations that ask the following questions: Where can our district go with diversity, equity, and inclusion? What information should we be sharing with our boards of education and communities around diversity, equity, and inclusion? What are some new and best practices for diversity recruitment? What are we doing to increase the retention of diverse employees in our district?

AASPA offers many opportunities to increase knowledge and improve Human Resources skills through professional development.
