​"Each session was intentional and relevant to foundation soft skills that usually aren't discussed in leadership training. Participating in the sessions helped me to prioritize the people on my campus beyond daily agendas."

"NPA has equipped me with specific skills that are applicable for different situations. As a Teaching Trust graduate, I valued the emphasis on values-based leadership and the emphasis that was placed on trust in each of the sessions."
