Each year, the MSMA Fall Conference offers over 50 clinics to help inform board members and superintendents
about current issues, best practices and legal concerns. We are seeking your input into clinic topic and presentation
suggestions for this year’s Conference, which will be held on October 24 and 25, 2019.
MSMA is committed to providing school board members and superintendents with the opportunity to gain the
skills and information necessary to provide their districts with the leadership required to provide quality learning for
all students to achieve high standards. We need your help. Please take a few minutes to think about what clinics you
and your board members would be interested in attending at the Fall Conference. Also, if you have expertise you
would like to share or know of a presenter you would suggest, please fill out the attached form. Please note: we do
not accept clinic submissions from vendors—all clinics must have presenter(s) from a school district.
Below are some general suggestions of topics. Feel free to elaborate on any of these areas or suggest different
topics.
Legislative Issues
Equity
Instructional Leadership
Board Governance and Leadership
School Safety
Communicating with Board Members

Please mail, email (msma@msmaweb.com) or fax (626-2968) the attached proposal application with any
suggestions by July 31. The decisions regarding clinics will be made by late-August. Unfortunately, not all
suggested topics and presenters can be utilized due to time and space constraints.
