Overview

The Annual Conference of the Tennessee Association of Independent Schools is the organization's signature opportunity for educators to grow together. Underpinned by a keynote address from strategist, coach, and experienced independent school leader Mark Boswell, this year's theme serves as an extension of last year's Annual Conference conversations around purpose. A robust slate of featured speakers, practical sessions by Tennessee's own expert teachers, an energizing exhibit hall, and TAIS's uniquely centered networking will lay the groundwork for attendees to push purpose to action.
