Feedback from last year's participants: What was the most valuable aspect of the Institute?
~ It was great to network and ask real questions to active heads to get different perspectives.
~ I am just beginning the process of thinking about the headship, so this was all very valuable information.
~ Personal time to have meaningful conversation with Heads and FCIS Team.
~ Quality of leadership––outstanding experienced Heads offering wisdom and experience
~ Hearing the experiences of the panel is extremely valuable––a real look into the day-to-day life of a Head.
