Quarterly Meeting #2: Using Events to Tell Your Story

Is event planning one of your many hats? Whether events are your full-time job or if it falls into “other duties as assigned,” this meeting will give you a look at how other schools manage and support district events, the role the communications department plays and some tips to enhance your next event from industry professionals. 

From student celebrations to informational open houses, events are a great way to tell your school’s story. Our opening session will feature the Jenks Public School team who will walk us through some of their largest events, their planning process and how they weave the Jenks story throughout. 

This session will be followed by a panel discussion with the following panelists:

Sponsor Session: Hospitality and Moments
Jamie Ronck, Presenter

There’s a lot of talk about “customer service mindset” in K-12 education. Who are those customers and why does it matter? District administrators have a unique “customer” base that is made up of students, families, business leaders, political leaders, and the list goes on and on. Today’s customers are smarter than ever before, they know what good service is and expect it. As a school leader, going beyond customer service and creating a culture of hospitality can excel your district’s brand.
