Our morning keynote speaker will be Andrea Gribble, owner of #SocialSchool4EDU, whose team works with hundreds of school districts nationally. With the rapid rise of AI and tech advances, we are so excited to welcome Andrea back to NESPRA. She'll talk about returning to the purpose of why we use social media — using storytelling to build trust over trends, among other timely topics!

The afternoon featured speaker will be Lesley Bruinton, APR, who is the Chief Executive Officer of School Spirit PR and a former NSPRA President. Lesley will talk about School Spirit's BOOST Framework: Bolstering Optimal Outcomes, Shaping Trust. Instead of letting powerful initiatives quietly run their course, learn strategies to spotlight their purpose, amplify their impact, and help your audience understand why they matter.
