Education First Compact
Monthly Speaker Series
More dialogue, not less, is what is needed to tackle our most intractable education challenges. To facilitate such dialogue, for the past 18 years, PEF has convened a monthly education speaker series, Education First Compact. From September through June, our team curates and produces sessions that attract the region’s most respected education leaders.
900 people
attend at least one Education First Compact during the course of the year
60 – 125 people
are in attendance, each month, at an Education First Compact
What We Offer
Ten monthly sessions offered free-of-charge in a forum emphasizing off-the-record, candid discussion. Check our calendar for upcoming sessions.
