The National Community for Women in Educational Leadership

SUMMIT & SOUL

Lift. Rise. Lead.

For principals, district leaders, superintendents — and every woman rising toward the role. Exceptional leadership and a healthy, happy life. You shouldn’t have to choose.

Why We Exist

You carry the school. Who carries you?

Women lead classrooms, campuses, and districts across America — and too many do it alone, running on empty. Summit & Soul develops the leader and restores the woman, in equal measure. Professional associations sharpen your resume. Wellness retreats ignore your career. We were built to do both, beautifully.

Women leaders in a strategy meeting

Leadership

Executive development, coaching, masterminds, and honest conversation about evaluation, strategy, AI, and the real work of leading schools.

Journaling with morning coffee

Wellness

Burnout prevention, reflection, journaling, and permission to rest — because excellence without exhaustion is a leadership skill.

Women hiking a forest trail

Adventure

Retreats and gatherings in America’s most beautiful places. Mountains, lakes, campfires — nature is our methodology.

“You will never lead alone again.”
