Quotes from Leaders Conference Europe 2023:

"As a new international school leader, I found the conference refreshing and inspiring on many levels."
- Anna T. Irby, Rain Forest International School, Cameroon

"A great opportunity to lift your head outside your own small school world to the broader mission of ACSI schools"
 - A School in Middle East

"Fellowship and networking are invaluable! Extremely beneficial to get away from your own school community for a break and to worship / chat / commiserate / pray with fellow leaders and make valuable new friends!"
- Anonymous 

"The opportunity to fellowship with your international friends and colleagues simply cannot be valued. It is priceless and you should not pass up the opportunity to join wherever and whenever they are offered!"
- Jesse Newman, NICS/OASIS

"It is a great time of like-minded leaders coming together learning and discussing important topics of the day. It is also a time to connect and network with other leaders. The spiritual emphasis is also a time of renewal that we need to be intentional about to be able to continue serving."
- Anonymous
