Parent Leaders are a special group of individuals, who voluntarily represent the concerns of parents and children. They are central to family support models and families benefit from their demonstrative dedication as stakeholders in the educational process. It is through the frontline advocacy and grassroots efforts of parent leaders that we influence, inspire, motivate and foster parent and community engagement. Therefore, it is with gratitude that we congratulate you, our newly elected Community School District 18 Presidents’ Council executive board for bearing our standard flagship of parent involvement.
