Spring Chapter Leader Spotlight Series

Each month, CSTA HQ asks different chapters to allow CSTA Chapter Leaders to attend their monthly programming to serve as an example of what Chapter Leaders could offer to their members.
Host Chapter Leaders will also stay on after their meeting a bit to answer questions from guest Chapter Leader attendees and to share any resources readily available.
We're excited to grow, collaborate, and learn from one another.

2024 Chapter Leadership Summit (CLS)

Chapter Presidents - Please email the names and email addresses of your 2 Chapter Leader Scholarship awardees to Chapters@csteachers.org, indicating which leader is accepting each scholarship. We will add your submissions to the conference registration system and those Chapter Leaders will receive an email with registration instructions.
At the minimum, we’d like to encourage Chapter Presidents & Chapter Treasurers from each chapter to attend, but we’re hoping that as many Chapter Leaders as possible will join us.
If not using one of the two Chapter Leader scholarships for your chapter, there is a question in the conference registration path to indicate that you are a Chapter Leader and attending the summit.
