NAIS Gather: A Convening for Renewal, Growth, Belonging, and Impact

Gather is NAIS's new convening for educators, administrators, and school leaders committed to advancing inclusion and belonging in independent schools. The event aims to connect and learn, and to gather insight, skills, and strength. Born from nearly 35 years of transformative work at the People of Color Conference and rooted in NAIS's leadership mission, Gather is an evolution in how the community engages. It moves beyond traditional conference formats, turning educators toward one another to share, learn, and grow. The event will offer three pathways: Renewing and Growing, Sustaining School Belonging, and Engaging Across Community. It is dedicated to strengthening learning environments and builds on what NAIS has learned from educators of color to inform a broader, more connected experience for anyone who has felt unseen in their schools and for those committed to the work of inclusion and belonging.
