Leaders Gathered at 13th Triennial Convention in Puerto Rico to discuss the current issues facing public education.

During today’s events Tavis Smiley spoke of love and how it relates to his definition of leadership, stating, “you can’t lead folk unless you love them, and you can’t save folk, if you don’t serve folk.”

Palm trees, crashing waves, a light breeze, and a clear, blue sky. Convention locations don’t get much better than this. Last night’s opening reception brought hundreds of attendees in from all over the nation to be welcomed by AFSA President Diann Woodard who said, “I am enchanted by this island and by seeing all of you here tonight.”
