Building an Education Outreach Strategy for America's 250th
In this session, Heather Nice, Executive Director of Strategic Projects and Partnerships for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, will share high-level insights from a novel national study to understand the unique needs of today's teachers and discuss how this data, and data from peer institutions, has informed the development of their 2026 education outreach strategy. She will discuss key projects and partnerships, as well as lessons learned, before inviting participants to engage in conversation around 2026 planning.
