Today on The Clay Young Show, our CEO, Adonica Pelichet Duggan, spoke about LaMont Cole's first 100 days as Superintendent. The Alliance's recent event, 'Reflecting on the First 100 Days: A Conversation with Superintendent Cole,' brought current and alumni CHANGEMAKERS together to hear from Cole and take part in a thought-provoking Q&A session. https://lnkd.in/gitEJANh

We couldn’t be more grateful for Superintendent LaMont Cole and all of our CHANGEMAKERS, current and alumni, who joined us for an evening of engaging conversation.

It was an evening filled with meaningful dialogue and future-focused energy! Thank you to everyone who made last night impactful—your commitment inspires us as we work together to support Baton Rouge students!
