Welcome
Suburban Superintendents Association
Networking
The SSA membership is a community of interconnected leaders and supporters that engage in intentionally designed networking opportunities to support important education and leadership outcomes. A primary goal is to develop and have access to a strong network of leaders and resources who support one another through professional relationships, sharing knowledge, and leadership experiences.
Educating
The SSA membership advocates and supports education policies and practices that are in the best interest of our schools, students, staff, families, and communities. Our primary role in advocacy is to share resources and information, as well as, inviting experts to address and interact with the SSA membership. The SSA does not genuinely take an organization interest as the needs and the interest of our membership are in some instances unique.
Advocating
The SSA governing board organizes learning sessions that aim to strengthen and build understanding of current education factors, including education reform, legislation, current learning, and leadership trends and effective leadership practice. The overarching goal is to expand the capacity to perform in leadership roles by networking with other SSA leaders and through learning from local, state, and national experts.
About the SSA
The suburban Superintendent Association is building a network of superintendents
The Suburban Superintendent’s Association (SSA) is dedicated to providing training and support to all superintendent’s in the northwest Chicago Suburbs. Through networking, training, and support, we hope to improve the quality of education that each of us is charged with providing at our districts.
Each year, the SSA hosts the annual Golf Outing. This is a time to connect with your peers and companies that might benefit you.
Through an unwavering commitment to excellence and and leadership support, the Suburban Superintendents Association strives to build and enhance leadership knowledge, understanding and advocacy in all facets of education. Our approach is based on the development and access of a strong network of leaders and resources who support one another through professional relationships, sharing knowledge and experiences.
Founded in the early 1970s, the SSA has partnered with Chicago suburban superintendents for nearly 45 years.
