Each year the GVSU DEISS invites board members from GVSU charter schools to attend a handful of exclusive events for networking and additional learning. All events are optional but highly encouraged as the best way to connect with fellow board members from other GVSU charters.
Board Presidents Leadership Retreat
Each year, GVSU DEISS brings together board presidents from GVSU-authorized charter schools for a half-day retreat on strategy and governance.
This year’s retreat took place November 5 in Detroit. The presentation is below for anyone who wants to revisit the day’s ideas or bring them back to their full board.
