Congratulations to all the 2019 NDPs and thank you for the things you brought to share with us from your home state. #naespndp

[National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals @NAESP]

A tradition each year at the #naespNDP celebration is when honorees share mementos from their home states. Lots of fun trinkets—and tasty treats! Thanks for sharing your state pride!

[Shelly Poage @shellypoage]

This was so much fun!

“We have the need to succeed.” –#naespNDP Class of 2019

[National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals @NAESP]

If you paired with another principal from across the country, what would your “unique similarities” be? That’s what members of the #naespNDP class of 2019 are discovering in this leadership session with @_AndyJacks. Is it lonely at the top? It doesn’t have to be! #naespCIL

[National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals @NAESP]

.@_AndyJacks, you can be our wingman anytime. Super high-energy leadership session this morning, led by #naespCIL fellow Dr. Andy Jacks. #naespNDP #TopGun

[Shelly Poage @shellypoage]

What a great start to our day!

[National Assoc. of Elementary School Principals @NAESP]

Our morning sessions kicked off with @GT_Law’s Joe R. Reeder, a graduate of @WestPoint_USMA. Reeder shared lessons in leadership he learned as he moved up the ranks in the Army and in the corporate sector as a lawyer. #naespndp
