ESHA holds two major events each year: a three-day retreat in the fall and a dinner in conjunction with the annual NAIS conference in the winter. Other activities include monthly member discussions by video conference about books and other topics of interest and regional meetings of independent elementary/middle school heads.
ESHA’s 2018 Annual Retreat
Join your colleagues for a spirited learning experience and a long weekend of camaraderie in an appealing setting at The Breakers, in Palm Beach, Florida, from October 13-16, 2018. http://www.thebreakers.com
The Breakers was selected for the October gathering because of its location, amenities, and history. The retreat planning committee has put together a stimulating program titled “Lead with a Story: Understanding Our Past, Defining Our Future.” (see the program below)
We expect that the retreat will be well attended and advise making your room reservations and retreat registrations as soon as possible.

About Our Annual Retreats
Focus
ESHA holds a retreat each fall, planned by and for heads of independent elementary and middle schools. Speakers on topics of professional interest, opportunities for discussion and socializing with colleagues, and relaxation are all part of the program.
Calendar
Typically, the retreat takes place in mid-October, on a Sunday through Tuesday with pre-retreat activities on Saturday.
Participants
The retreat experience is the one ESHA activity limited to members and their spouses/partners, thereby offering time focused entirely on those roles in school leadership.
Sponsors
ESHA is grateful for sponsor support for its retreats and is happy to highlight these partner organizations. For more information, contact info@elementaryschoolheads.org.
