Network. Meet. Discuss. Enjoy time with peers in the Unconference Cafe. Use the flexibly designed space and meeting resources for pop-up conversations and “unconference” discussions. Share ideas, reflect and refresh. (Just don’t break the Open Meetings law.)
 

Stop by with your board during our two trade show breaks! Get there early and avoid potentially long lines. Did you or your whole board earn an Annual Board Award? If so, you have two opportunities on Thursday to stop by the Midwest Portraits photo booth, pick up your award and have your photo taken. You will receive the photo after convention for promotion to your local community. Bonus: IASB will provide your district with a press release to send to local media outlets and will post all winners and photos on the IASB website. Stop by the booth on Level 2, near the Registration Desk, and get ready to smile!

Special thanks to Midwest Portraits for sponsoring the Annual Board Award Photos at the 79th IASB Annual Convention & Trade Show.
 

For over 15 years, the Missouri Association of School Boards (MASB) has run the Center for Education Safety, dedicated to making Missouri schools safe for students, staff, faculty, and visitors. The state has developed a wide range of school safety trainings for school boards, covering critical topics like de-escalation, behavioral risk assessment, the board's role in preventing sexual abuse, reducing the school-to-prison pipeline, cybersecurity, and emergency operations planning.

To ensure these trainings are accessible to districts across Missouri, MASB uses a mobile TI training unit. These units provide interactive simulations, allowing board members and district staff to practice de-escalating high-stress safety situations.

Be sure to stop by and check out the TI mobile unit during the trade show breaks—and let us know what you think!

• Wednesday, November 20, 3:30–5 p.m.
