LM March 2018

Women superintendents are special, different and unique. March is National Women’s History Month, which gives us a perfect opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary achievements of our female leaders in Illinois. In this month’s issue, we will highlight the accomplishments of female leaders and learn more about the challenges and opportunities that exist for females in the superintendency.
