CAIS provides a service specifically for its member schools: recurring virtual roundtables and affinity spaces by role.
To participate in any of the roundtables, please follow the appropriate link to register in advance via Zoom for the roundtable of interest. Pending approval, you will receive a confirmation email with connection information.
Participants may register once for each series to gain access to all meetings in that series. If you would like to participate in multiple series, you must register for each series. For example, a Head of School may register for both the All Heads of Schools series and again for the Heads of Boarding Schools.
Registration for a Roundtable requires a CAIS school email address. Only emails associated with a CAIS school will be permitted to join the roundtable.
