Women Leading Ed

We’re proud to recognize our Title Sponsor,

At a moment when the demands on education leaders have never been higher, their partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting the leaders doing the hardest work in our schools and systems.

This Summit is stronger because of it.

Dr. Gabriella Blakey, Superintendent of Albuquerque Public Schools, knows that part of leading is showing up.

Knowing names and faces.
Being present in the very classrooms your decisions impact.
Staying close to the heartbeat of the community.

Leading behind a desk is one thing.
Leading in proximity — in classrooms, in hallways, in conversation — is what builds trust.

Happy Thanksgiving to our Women Leading Ed community.
This season invites us to pause and appreciate the people who make this community extraordinary. We are grateful for:

• Leaders who choose courage every day
• Members who share their stories openly so others can rise
• The partnerships that help women step into top roles and thrive in them
• The collective strength that comes from doing hard things together

A recent note from a member stays with us:

“I joined WLE looking for development. I found a community that lifted me when I doubted myself, challenged me to grow, and reminded me of my power. Every conversation made me better. Every woman inspired me. I have never felt more supported.”

Thank you for the way you show up for each other. You make this community strong, wise, resilient, and deeply connected.
