Signature Session: So You Want to Be a NAGC Leader?

Friday, November 14, 2025
1:15 PM - 2:15 PM ET
Location: Convention Center, Ballroom A
Are you interested in serving in a leadership role within NAGC but unsure where to begin? Are you a person of color seeking to grow your leadership capacity while connecting with like-minded thought leaders? Join us for a dynamic session designed to build community, cultivate leadership skills, and clarify your path to making a lasting impact within NAGC! A core strategic priority of NAGC is expanding leadership diversity across the organization. Yet many members, especially leaders of color, report uncertainty about how to get involved. This session addresses those concerns by offering a two-part experience: an expert panel and a hands-on roundtable workshop experience. Participants will hear insights and inspiration from current and past leaders of color, potentially including a keynote by Dr. Michelle Frazier Trotman Scott. Attendees will then flow between interactive roundtables that focus on key competencies related to NAGC leadership, including networking and identifying leadership opportunities. Led by established servant leaders in gifted education, these discussions will help participants develop an actionable plan aligned with their personal leadership goals.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will gain insights and actionable advice from current and former NAGC leaders and volunteers.
  • Participants will engage in focused discussions that explore participants’ leadership interests and next steps.
  • Participants will acquire resources and strategies to support leadership development within NAGC.
