The annual Wake Education Summit began in 1998 as a process for bringing together stakeholder groups from across the Wake County community-parents, teachers, administrators, community- and faith-based organizations, businesses, elected leaders, government officials and colleges/universities- to establish goals and priorities for the public’s schools. This session will include an overview of the Summit as a community engagement process and strategies that have worked to build community involvement over the past seven years and will brainstorm ways to apply these strategies to generate action.
