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.
TestimonialsBOLD was the best personal and professional development experience I have ever had! I came in not knowing what to totally expect. It was challenging, yet fulfilling. I learned to be BOLD as I approached another year at my school! Hands down, every POC in independent and public/charter schools should apply to attend BOLD; you won't regret it!
I began BOLD with quite a few questions and a lot of uncertainty, and I finished with clarity and direction on how I want to develop my career. I gained knowledge, confidence, and insight that could take years to develop through individual experience. I'm sure other workshops provide access to leaders in the field, but BOLD fosters meaningful relationships with those individuals.
BOLD allowed me to have a network of support outside of my place of employment that I did not know was possible or even existed. I left BOLD feeling refreshed and comforted, knowing I did not have to take this journey on my own.Personally and professionally, BOLD was what I needed when I didn't even realize that I needed it. I walked in expecting this conference to be like others - here's some tips, lots of PowerPoints, and networking handshakes for future job openings. BOLD sessions focused on helping every participant find and/or articulate their WHY. Facilitators shared their professional path into leadership. Best of all a community of leaders was strengthened. I personally walked away knowing that I have a community, with a renewed sense of purpose, clearer direction, gratitude for every facilitator and BOLD participant, and a firm belief that I am going to be alright mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and professionally
