Thursday Networking Events
The 2010 NACSA Leadership Conference provides authorizers the ideal opportunity to network with their colleagues and build relationships to help enhance chartering within their own organizations. To facilitate this interaction, NACSA is offering four distinct networking events on Thursday, October 21 after the final plenary discussion. These activities are designed as a forum for attendees to reflect upon the week's findings and engage with their peers in thoughtful discussion before traveling home.
Camelback Mountain Hike
Sheer red sandstone cliffs and its telltale hump draw thousands of hikers to Camelback Mountain each year. Hiking to the top is not for beginning hikers -- the two summit trails are strenuous climbs over sometimes-tricky trails. Join Eileen Sigmund, CEO of the Arizona Charter Schools Association, for this a two-hour hike for experienced hikers with either hiking shoes or shoes that have a good grip or tread on the bottom. Individuals will need to bring water. The hike will begin at 12 pm. To sign-up, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . More Information
