In this episode, we are joined by Ethan Ashley, the co-founder and CEO of School Board Partners. Hear how his personal pathway led to his service as a school board member in Louisiana, which in turn fueled his mission to create a national support system for other board members. We dig into critical challenges facing board members today, including financial literacy, self-care, and how board members often underestimate their own value. Learn about the different types of support available from School Board Partners and what board members across the country still need to succeed.
