The LEAD Summit

The LEAD Summit is ESC Region 19’s signature annual event designed to elevate, connect, and inspire educational leaders across the region. Grounded in this year’s theme, Leading with Purpose, the conference brings together superintendents, district administrators, principals, assistant principals, and aspiring leaders for a full day of meaningful learning, collaboration, and forward-focused leadership development.

Participants will engage in powerful breakout sessions tailored to their specific roles, explore strategies that strengthen instructional systems, and learn from experienced leaders who are driving innovation and impact across Texas schools. Whether you’re shaping district strategy, leading a campus team, or preparing for your next leadership step, this conference provides practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a network of colleagues who understand the challenges and possibilities of leading in today’s schools.

Join us and take the next step in your leadership journey—with purpose, with clarity, and with the support of a community committed to student success.
