Women's Network Business Leaders Forum - March 2012

Presented by

State of Columbia Public Schools

with speaker Dr. Chris Belcher, Superintendent

We are in a period of great change in Columbia Public Schools.  The school district will welcome a new high school to the community and change the grade configuration of our secondary schools in 2013.  The district is managing increasing enrollment and decreasing revenues; working to eliminate the achievement gap between groups of students; and facing ever changing federal and state requirements.  With a vision to be the best school district in Missouri and a mission to provide an excellent education for all students how is CPS moving ahead.  Dr. Belcher will provide an update on ongoing activities and future plans for the school district as well as an opportunity for questions and answers.

Cost is $5 for both Women's Network members and guests. Lunch will be provided to those who register for this event in advance. Register online or contact Elizabeth at 817-9119 or etate@ColumbiaMOChamber.com. 

Co-chaired by Tana Benner with Knight & Salladay Law Offices and Stephanie Turner of Northwester Mutual Financial, the Business Leaders Forum provides an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and discussion of problems, solutions and successful techniques related to management and/or the leadership of employees.
