Leading for Impact: Strengthening People, Programs & Results

Join ConnCASE on October 9, 2026, at the Farmington Polo Club for a dynamic professional learning experience designed for special education leaders who are navigating two of today’s most critical challenges: building and retaining strong special education teams and ensuring that programs are delivering meaningful, sustainable results.

Keynote presenter Dr. Natasha W. Veale will explore Supporting and Retaining Special Education Teachers Through Transformational Leadership, providing practical leadership strategies for creating environments in which special educators feel supported, empowered, and motivated to stay.

Ginny Tagliatela will then present Strategic Accountability: A Proven Program Review Framework, introducing a practical, replicable approach for using data, key performance indicators, strategic alignment, and stakeholder feedback to evaluate programs and guide informed decision-making.

Participants will leave with practical strategies, actionable frameworks, and new perspectives they can bring directly back to their districts to strengthen both the people they lead and the programs they oversee.
