Godshall, Council President/District Superintendent- Orleans-Niagara BOCES and New York State Education Commissioner Richard Mills.
The Council, a professional and advocacy organization with 700+ members that has served the school superintendents of New York State for more than a century, met in Albany in mid- January to explore the theme of “A Leadership Imperative: Innovation & Creativity Focused on Student Results.” Keynote presentations included Alan Blankstein, President, HOPE Foundation; Stan Slap, CEO, slap; and Dr. Mary Montle Bacon, President, Images of Culture. In addition to the keynote series, the event featured workshops, practice-oriented sessions, special events for superintendents who are new to the field, and sessions with NYS Education Commissioner Richard Mills and invited educational legislative leaders.
