From Technical Expert to Trusted Advisor!

Technical expertise is critical. But in K-12 IT and cybersecurity, influencing decisions and gaining executive support takes more than technical knowledge.

Join Corrie Wilder (WSIPC) and Jarrett Benavidez (Lumu Technologies) for a practical conversation about the Shift-Left Communication Framework and how technology and cybersecurity leaders can:

• Build trust and credibility with district leadership
• Gain buy-in for technology and cybersecurity initiatives
• Engage stakeholders earlier in the decision-making process
• Strengthen collaboration across departments
• Elevate IT and cybersecurity from an operational function to a strategic partner

August 18, 2026 | 11:00 AM Pacific | Virtual

If you're ready to strengthen your influence and earn a seat at the leadership table, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Before the back-to-school buzz kicks into high gear, take a moment to recharge. Whether your perfect reset looks like a quiet morning, a favorite playlist, a walk outside, a good book, or simply enjoying a few minutes of doing absolutely nothing, today is your day!

To the educators, district teams, and technology heroes who keep schools moving forward, you deserve a little time to relax, refresh, and refuel!

So go ahead, close the laptop, step away from the to-do list, and enjoy a well-earned moment of calm.

Happy National Relaxation Day!

Start the School Year with Smart Purchasing!

A new school year brings new opportunities, and the right purchasing partner can make all the difference.

As you prepare for the year ahead, let the WSIPC Purchasing Program help you spend less time on procurement and more time supporting students, staff, and your community.
