Newly elected school board members are required by law (NDCC §15.1-09-32) to complete training within their first year of service. NDSBA’s New Member Learning to Lead Workshop fulfills that requirement. Attendance and participation are checked at the completion of the session to ensure the legal requirements are met.
Agenda TBD


NDSBA offers a warm welcome to new school board members elected in 2026! Your willingness to step forward and serve your community reflects a strong commitment to the success of our students and the future of public education in North Dakota. We appreciate your dedication to this vital role and the perspective you bring to your local board.
As you begin your service, NDSBA is here to support you every step of the way. Please mark your calendar for the New Member Learning to Lead Workshop on Thursday, October 8 during our Annual Convention at the Bismarck Event Center. All newly elected school board members are required by state law to attend this workshop, which is designed to provide the foundational knowledge and tools needed to be an effective board member.
We look forward to working with you and supporting your success as you begin this important journey.
