WASD EDUCATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES KEYNOTE SPEAKER FOR 1st CHERRY AND WHITE APPRECIATION NIGHT
The Williamsport Area School District Education Foundation ( WASDEF ) is pleased to announce the keynote speaker for its inaugural Cherry & White Appreciation Night , an evening dedicated to paying tribute to WASD educators .
Michael Bonner will headline the September 21st event , which will also include the induction of this year ’ s cohort of Williamsport Area High School Distinguished Alumni , that will be held at the Trachte Music Center at Lycoming College .
Bonner is a renowned leader , innovator and performance booster , who is a trailblazer in leadership development and organizational culture . He is a dynamic keynote speaker who has been featured on “ The Ellen Show ,” “ NBC Nightly News ” and “ Time for Kids .” He is the CEO of Bonnerville , a business that promotes the value of self-care and a highly respected team member at the famed Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta . Bonner empowers leaders to build genuine relationships and establish a positive organizational culture , vision , and team development . His seminars challenge listeners to reflect , strategize , and execute , in order to increase their efficiency in the workplace and personal areas . He empowers listeners to build genuine relationships with their teams and colleagues because , as Bonner states , “ You cannot demand a withdrawal from someone you have never invested in .”
“ We ’ re thrilled to welcome Mr . Bonner to Williamsport ,” said WASDEF Executive Director Greg Hayes . “ As an educator himself , the message he ’ s set to deliver is timely and relevant . I ’ m confident he ’ ll leave our educators in attendance inspired to drive positive changes , not only in themselves , but in their classrooms .”
Hayes said the Education Foundation felt it was important to add another layer to its support for Williamsport teachers , in addition to its grant-making . " We wanted to further demonstrate our support with a night dedicated to them , and allow them to celebrate themselves , alongside their colleagues , in the roles they have in helping to shape the futures of our community ’ s youth . Embedding the induction of this year ’ s Distinguished Alumni will also allow them to see the impact of a WASD education .”
Attendance at the event is limited to WASD educators and administrators . The celebration is being co-sponsored by C & N Bank and Baker Tilly .
