The 10th Annual CSGF Talent Community Convening is officially in the books! 📚 Last month, we spent three incredible days watching talent leaders tackle the challenges that matter most: teacher retention, crisis communications, hiring best practices, and leadership development. From "aha moments" in intensive workshops to genuine friendships forming over shared challenges, talent leaders brought the energy and expertise that make this convening so powerful. Thank you to all participants for your engagement, insights, and unwavering commitment to excellence. #CharterEducation #Charter #CharterSchools #Education #CharterGrowth #CSGF
