GALTI 2024
Energising and equipping a Board of Directors to embrace strategic governance and to operate at a generative level for the benefit of our institutions is no easy task. But it can be done… with a little help!
This is what the UNIS Hanoi Board of Directors and their colleagues from more than 20 international schools have discovered, as they embarked together on a ground breaking journey nearly ten years ago.
The 8th annual GALTI Conference with the theme “Charting Tomorrow - Board Governance, Big Questions and the Future of Education” will be held on 7-8 September, 2024,led by Homa Tavangar and Rami Madani.
Homa Tavangar, the BIG Questions Institute
Homa has extensive experience working with schools and their Boards around the world through strategic planning, good governance and leadership, leading through crisis, innovation leadership, and growing equity, inclusion, belonging, and cultural competence. She has served on multiple Boards, including currently on the Board of International School Services, and advised organizations ranging from leading international schools, Ivy League universities, Fortune 100 corporations and multilateral development organizations. She is a best-selling author and co-founder of the Big Questions Institute.

Rami has designed a variety of professional development and training programs and presents on areas related to strategic planning, leadership, growth & evaluation, curriculum, assessment and instruction.

This is a new approach to the institute aimed at supporting new learning opportunities for both returning and new participants. With the aim of delegates leaving the event with a strong network of board members to provide on-going support for one another throughout the year.
