As part of NAESP’s commitment to provide leadership opportunities for our members, we are pleased to announce that we are seeking NAESP members to serve as fellows leading the work of our Centers for Advancing Leadership. The NAESP Centers for Advancing Leadership provide focused learning and development for elementary and middle-level school leaders throughout the nation. Each center is led by fellows who are well-respected, experienced leaders with a track record of connecting with colleagues and creating powerful professional networks.  The role of the fellows is to facilitate learning and professional growth related to current and emerging issues; identify and share best practices, current research and resources; promote the essential leadership role of the principal; and create a network of colleagues with an interest in expanding their learning. The following centers will welcome a new fellow to the team effective August 1, 2025, for a three-year term:

• Center for Diversity Leadership joining Dr. Sharon Porter
• Center for Middle Level Leadership joining Katy Kennedy

Applications must be submitted by Monday, June 16, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. ET. For questions or assistance, email Katie Earley at kearley@naesp.org.
