Welcome Back to our NISPA Members
September 2025
Dear NISPA Community:
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to another exciting chapter in our journey together. Whether you are a seasoned parent leader, a new member of our independent school community, or a thought partner in education, we are thrilled to have you with us.
At NISPA, we believe in the transformative power of collaboration. This year's theme: Together We Thrive: Leading, Learning, and Lifting — reflects our shared commitment to empowering parent leaders, fostering meaningful connections, and advancing excellence in the independent schools parent community.
- Leading: We celebrate the courage and vision of parent leaders who step forward to shape their school communities. Your leadership inspires innovation, inclusivity, and resilience.
- Learning: We are a learning organization at heart. Through workshops, forums, and peer-to-peer exchanges, we cultivate a culture of continuous growth and shared wisdom.
- Lifting: We lift each other up- offering support, encouragement, and resources to help every member of our community flourish.
As we embark on this year's initiatives, we invite you to engage deeply, share generously, and connect authentically. Whether through in-person gatherings, virtual events, or our annual social, your voices and experience are vital to our collective success.
Thank you for being part of NISPA. Together, we are not only building stronger school communities, we are shaping a brighter future for all of our children.
With gratitude and enthusiasm,
Andrea
