9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Developed by Phil Boyte, The Breaking Down the Walls program is a unique opportunity for student leaders and board members to connect, share stories, and realize "it's hard to hate someone whose story you know." Board members are encouraged to invite student board members, ambassadors, or representatives for a day of team and culture building. The workshop will include a breakout session where students will connect with fellow student leaders from across the state, as board members develop governance best practices to give students a voice at the table. At the end of the day together, registered student leaders are invited to attend the Joint Annual Conference Opening Session.
