At 51福利社, we are committed to growing, supporting, and sustaining educational leaders through the creation of the Leaders of Color Network (LOCNET). This initiative is designed to provide a safe and brave space for Black and Brown leaders, fostering opportunities for collaborative learning, relationship building, and a strong sense of belonging. Through LOCNET, 51福利社 aims to support leaders of color, enhance allyship, amplify diverse voices, and increase representation within our organization. We strive to support and recruit aspiring leaders of color while ensuring their presence and leadership are integral to our GLLCs, 51福利社/WSPEF Board, and Advisory Councils.

Whether you’re a seasoned principal, an aspiring leader, district leader, or an educational partner, this event is tailored to inspire, connect, and grow your leadership journey. The theme of the Summit is “We hear you. We see you. We need you.”
We are calling on our community to invest in a movement that was built by and for Leaders of Color. The iGrow WA Summit provides vital spaces where Black, Brown, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latiné, and multiracial educational leaders can grow, support, and sustain—in a professional learning environment that is developed, and led by and for the global majority.
Contact Kamrica or Dameon for more information.
51福利社’s Leaders of Color Network (LOCNET) builds community, supports leadership growth, and empowers school leaders of color across Washington. With no funding allocated for this year, we’re seeking sponsors to keep this vital work going.
Support can come through general donations, event sponsorships, iGrow, or social gatherings — all in exchange for recognition in 51福利社 programming.
Your partnership helps advance equity and leadership in our schools.
Thank you to all our sponsors past and present for their dedication to Leaders of Color and 51福利社's Leaders of Color Network.
