Mary Cleveland — OSBA 2026 President — brings 15 years of board governance and a law degree to your boardroom. Real training from someone who's sat in your seat. Available for keynotes, workshops, and one-on-one board consultations.
Everything a new board member needs to know in their first 90 days — and what nobody tells you until it's too late.
School funding and policy don't happen at the board table — they happen at the Statehouse. Learn to be in the room where it happens.
The difference between a board that governs and a board that manages. This session resets the standard for how your board operates.
Mary doesn't teach from a textbook. She teaches from the boardroom — three terms elected, four years as board president, and the state's highest school governance office. Her legal training and business education mean every session has substance, not just slogans.
Not sure what your board needs? Mary will talk through your specific situation and recommend the right training format. No commitment required.
