Summary


Even Christian parents are mammals! They need to be reminded and reinforced systematically about exactly why they are writing that big check to your school every month. The sad reality is that most schools are fundamentally ineffective at communicating and reinforcing their VALUE to parents. It is just too easy to assume they know what is going on … This plenary session is about NOT ASSUMING that! Come join Bill Simmer, ISMÍs director of association relations, and explore the practices that will move your parent body from a ñcontractî mentality to a “community” mentality.

Speaker


Bill Simmer has been with Independent School Management (ISM) for 12 years and acts as ISM’s chief liaison with state, regional, national, and international associations. He manages ISM’s many relationships with these associations, and works with our association partners to create powerful professional development experiences. Bill came out of the Christian school movement and his life’s mission and passion is to see industry best practices manifest themselves in Christian schools with the end result being the transformation of children’s lives.
