Booker, Mayor of the City of Newark and Eva Moskowitz, Founder and CEO of the Success Charter Network. The National Charter Schools Conference is the only national gathering of the charter school movement, and will host 4,500 public charter school teachers, principals, administrators, board members, funders and supporters at the Georgia World Congress Center. Our 2011 theme is "Because Every Child Can Succeed" -- chosen because the charter school sector has proven that closing the achievement gap is possible for every student. Now serving more than 1.6 million students in nearly 5,000 schools, public charter schools provide outstanding examples of innovation and quality. The National Charter Schools Conference is a time to recognize these achievements while re-dedicating ourselves to pushing toward even higher goals. Please join leaders from across the nation as we gather to network, train and be inspired in beautiful Atlanta!
