Society for Women Educational Leaders (SWEL)
Between saving the world and savoring it, the Society of Women Educational Leaders chooses to do both during the 2025-2026 school year as we lift each other up, amplify diverse voices, and widen the circle - bringing our own chairs, if we need to.
Please see below for ideas, resources, strategies, and sources of inspiration to strengthen culture, community, and connections in your own contexts.
