Education can—and should be—transformative. PIE Network connects, strengthens & catalyzes the work of advocates across communities, states, & ideological lines.
3.14 is a constant—and so are PIE Network advocates. Landscapes shift, and these principled, pragmatic problem solvers remain. In advance of PI(E) Day, we’re celebrating the advocates ensuring every student, in every community, can achieve a future without limits. #TopLevelNerds
PIE Network’s executives came together in San Antonio last month. These principled, pragmatic problem solvers continue to navigate the challenges & opportunities of education advocacy, staying focused on one goal: a quality education for every student, in every community.
Howdy from San Antonio, Texas! Today kicks off PIE Network’s annual Executives’ Meeting. Hats off to PIE Network leaders for taking time out of their busy schedules to strategize and come together in real time.
LUCKY 7! PIE Network thrives on connection, conversation, growth, hospitality, joy, celebration, and learning. @jenalexanderct has been leading PIE Network with an eye to those 7 winning qualities for 7 years. Happy work-iversary, Jen, thanks for all you've done over the past 6... 7 years!
