The Communicating in Difficult Situations session scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19 from 9-10 a.m. has been postponed. It will be rescheduled at a future date.

Online Learning from OSSBA

Effective communication is one key to success, and it is especially critical during challenging times. That’s also when it’s the hardest.

From managing crisis situations to dealing with contrary individuals, join as we discuss how board of education members can navigate the negativity and help propel their districts forward – even when the waters seem the roughest.

Presented by: Amber Graham Fitzgerald, OSSBA Director of Member Engagement; Christy Watson, OSSBA Director of Communications and Marketing; Dr. Joe Siano, OSSBA Associate Executive Director
