Event Details

Tuesday Presentation:
Design a Life You Love: Win at Work and Succeed at Life

Presenter: Cheryl-Marie Manson and Abby Cypher

Description: Join us for an energizing one-day session designed for educational leaders ready to escape the hustle trap and embrace a more balanced, fulfilling life. This training introduces the Full Focus System—a practical, proven framework that helps leaders flourish across nine life domains by shifting from doing more to doing what matters most. Through tools like the Freedom Compass and Full Focus Planner, participants will uncover limiting beliefs, prioritize high-leverage tasks, and create sustainable routines. You'll walk away with a clear Double Win mindset, strategies to automate and delegate effectively, and a personalized plan to protect your energy, focus, and well-being in daily leadership.

Wednesday Presentation: (Included with All Access Tickets)
Take your professional learning experience to the next level with the All Access ticket. When you purchase the All Access ticket you gain access to Developing Leaders sessions and the General Membership Meeting.

Developing Leaders is THE place to solve current problems of practice with other MAASE members. Topics for this informal "Ed Camp" opportunity are brainstormed the day prior. Notes are taken to capture the information and resources shared by fellow MAASE members on the hot topic of the day.  Participants will have the opportunity to select two topics that are the most relevant to their current work, one from 8:30-9:15 am and one from 9:30-10:15 am.

General Membership Meeting immediately follows the Developing Leaders session where you will hear state level updates from the Michigan Department of Education Office of Special Education and our lobbyist. You will also hear updates from the President on the Board meetings, current MAASE work and have the opportunity to give input on the direction of the organization.
