Why Marshall Leadership Institute?

Katie Ryan

Executive Director, Marshall Leadership Institute

“One of the strongest assets of our pathways is the community we foster and the long-lasting partnerships our leaders forge, even after their cohort year concludes. Very frequently, the leaders who entered the cohort without knowing one another continue to provide each other support and encouragement, and grapple with real-time challenges together. This role can feel lonely, and building those strong connections and networks of support can build the hope, resilience and focus our school leaders need for the long haul”
