The Future of Education is Here
We will search the country for the next crop of winners in Educational Innovation, Community Engagement, Student Empowerment, and the S. Joseph Bruno Charter Leadership award-winning schools. Our Shellie-Ann Braswell “Shine Brighter” individual grant for charter school volunteers is also returning for a third year.
Our first two CoHorts of charter leaders have formed a tight-knit group of amazing leaders, who are dedicated to sharing their insights and helping other charter school leaders create a community that supports and elevates the entire charter school community.
The 3rd Annual Summit brings together past and present grant-award winners alongside amazing charter school leaders from across the nation with active, interactive sessions, dedicated networking opportunities, and an amazing time celebrating in Miami!

General Criteria:
* Impact: Are there measurable results? Is the IMPACT diverse and deep?
* Program: Is the program inclusive, effective, and focused.
* Leadership: Can the leader articulate the need and impact of the effort? Is the leader a model of integrity and commitment?
* Growth: Is the program/effort sustainable? Are the future plans inspirational?
