MANSFIELD – The Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center (ESC) hosted a highly successful Fall Administrative Conference on August 6, bringing together over 250 dedicated administrators from various local districts.
The conference, which aimed to provide valuable insights and strategies to improve administrative skills and support the educational community, was met with enthusiasm and engagement by all participants.
The event began with an inspiring keynote speech by Jim Tressel, who captivated the audience with his talk on the importance of teamwork in achieving common goals. He emphasized the importance of being grateful, not losing hope, setting clear goals and developing a strong work ethic to be successful.

These sessions provided administrators with a wealth of knowledge and practical strategies to implement in their respective districts.
