Keynote Address

As Jo Gusman likes to say, “We’re all in the same choir – the Advocates for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Learners Choir.” When we sing as a choir we come together as a group of individuals with our own unique talents and experiences, but we work as a team to create something bigger than ourselves – para server – to be of service.

Tailored Keynote Address

Jo Gusman will work with you to create a meaningful and purpose-filled keynote address that aligns to your conference or professional learning workshop theme and message.
