Catalyst Leaders Meeting

What is a Catalyst Leaders Meeting? Where green school leaders connect, learn, and lead. Join a dynamic network of changemakers to explore timely challenges, share success stories, and shape the future of sustainable schools together. Leadership in Action Transforming schools begins with leadership that is intentional, collaborative, and grounded in a shared vision. In this Catalyst Leaders Meeting, GSNN partners will explore how effective leadership creates the conditions for sustainable systems change. Through partner showcases, collaborative discussion, and expert insights, participants will learn how schools and districts are aligning teams, building leadership capacity, and navigating the challenges of organizational change. Rather than focusing on theory alone, this session highlights real implementation stories, lessons learned, and practical strategies that participants can adapt within their own contexts. Catalyst Leaders Meetings are designed exclusively for GSNN partners to foster peer learning, strengthen relationships across the network, and accelerate implementation through shared experience.
