BOLD Summit

BOLD is a professional learning experience designed to support educators of color who are interested in growing their leadership in independent schools.

Hosted by Galloway, BOLD brings together passionate educators from across the country for reflection, connection, and professional development. This is not your typical leadership conference! Participants engage in conversations about leadership, identity, community, and the evolving role of schools in a diverse and dynamic society.

Through mentorship, dialogue, and collaborative learning, BOLD creates space for educators to explore their leadership journeys, build supportive networks, and deepen their impact within their schools and communities.

At its heart, BOLD is about cultivating a generation of leaders who are committed to thoughtful, inclusive, and courageous leadership in education.

Join us from June 8-10 at The Gathering Spot in Atlanta, GA. 

Please complete your application by May 15, 2026. The attendance fee is $900.

Application

Please attach answers to the prompt below.

A leader is often called to communicate across contexts, audiences, and formats. For this portion of the application, we invite you to express yourself in a way that feels authentic to you.

Choose one of the prompts below and respond using a format of your choice (e.g., written response, video, audio, visual art, or other creative medium). The only limit is your creativity. We are less interested in polished answers and more interested in thoughtful reflection, honesty, and growth.

  1. How has your identity shaped the way you lead, and how has leadership shaped your understanding of your identity?
     
  2. What kind of leader do you hope to become, and what impact do you hope to have on your community or the field of education?
     
  3. Describe a tension you currently hold as a leader. How are you navigating it?
     
  4. What role does joy play in your leadership, and how do you sustain it in challenging moments?
