CONNECTIONS Spring 2024 |
Dear PAIS Friends,
This issue of CONNECTIONS highlights the events and programs dedicated to our 75th Anniversary. The celebration on April 11th was a resounding success, marked by camaraderie and a shared commitment to the values and mission of PAIS. Once again, we want to thank Peter Gurt and his wonderful staff at Milton Hershey School for hosting us at their breathtaking campus. Highlights from the celebration are linked below.
This anniversary year PAIS also hosted social gatherings at the People of Color Conference and the NAIS Annual Conference, where we were delighted to connect with so many PAIS friends for a drink. Additionally, our 75th Anniversary Speaker Series provided enriching discussions, culminating in a final webinar scheduled for May 3rd. As we celebrated 75 years, we also took valuable time to reflect and gather feedback through our survey to school Heads, which yielded immensely positive results. Further details on these endeavors are available below.
Here's to the next 75 years of success and growth through CONNECTIONS for PAIS member schools!
Sincerely,
|
Gary J. Niels Executive Director
