The IEI Family
We believe that meaningful conversations drive progress. When individuals come together for thoughtful dialogue, we all grow in our efforts to support students and families in building successful futures.
What makes us different?
We are an invitation-only, membership-based organization that brings together individuals and organizations dedicated to helping students succeed in school and life. When we say we're a family, we really see that through—we create a trusted space for open discussions, problem-solving, and innovation. We are also the only organization of our kind that publishes position papers based on the insights and discussions from our summits.
