Roslyn Moffitt has been working with schools, families, communities, districts and sharing her knowledge with practitioners across our nation for years. She's the one who helped me learn about the incredible work that Successful Innovations does in the area of Family Engagement, and how I first attended one of their many impactful conferences. I met her while checking out the exhibits at the VAESP conference, attended her session, and was hooked! Now as a retired principal, I have joined their team spreading their mission and vision and helping schools leverage this very important work in their communities. If you want to make a difference in your school community and you are ready to level-up this "super power", register as many team members as you can for the National Family Engagement Summit and join Dr. Roz for a session or two! @DarlaEdwards13 @HildaStevens20 @RoslynMoffitt
