HERZOG FOUNDATION
This podcast is brought to you in partnership with the Herzog Foundation, which supports Christian education in a variety of ways. One way I highly recommend is their leadership trainings. They offer free, in-person trainings to Christian school leaders on a variety of important topics like donor development, marketing and enrollment, strategic planning, culture building, and more.
Not only are the trainings free, but lodging and meals are also covered by the Herzog Foundation. That means your school's only cost is airfare to get to the event. I've heard first-hand from people who have attended these events telling me that they are fantastic! If you're at a Christian school, check them out at herzogfoundation.com/events and be sure to recommend them to your admins.
