2026 MASA Fall Conference

Exclusive Pre-Conference Conversation with Dr. Miguel Cardona

Join us for an exclusive pre-conference conversation with Former U.S. Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona, designed specifically for K-12 leaders. Begin the morning with breakfast and professional learning led by MASA before hearing from Dr. Cardona as he invites leaders to reflect on the people who opened doors for them—and the responsibility they now have to open doors for students, staff, and communities.

Together, explore how intentional, equity-centered leadership can create the conditions for learning, belonging, achievement, and future success. The morning will conclude with an interactive Q&A and networking opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with fellow leaders.
