Memphis aspires to make big improvements in public education and prove what is possible through unique solutions. And great leadership is the capacity to translate big vision into reality. At our next Celebrate What’s Right luncheon, we’ll hear from those leading in education on the successes and struggles in Memphis classrooms, and where we must go from here. Join us for lunch on October 1 for a discussion on visionary leadership in Memphis education with:

• Sharon Griffin, Achievement School District
• Dorsey Hopson, Shelby County Schools
• Bob Nardo, Libertas School of Memphis
• Roblin Webb, Freedom Prep
• Caroline Bauman, Chalkbeat (moderator)

New Memphis will also be honoring the recipients of the first Educators of Excellence Award at this luncheon. Because we know that great leadership is needed in every corner of our community – from the board room to the classroom – this New Memphis award is meant to highlight distinguished local teachers and school leaders.
