Delegate Testimonials
I have never attended an event that organically allowed for collaboration and networking like RTM. The conversations and learning opportunities are invaluable. I have new perspectives and ideas to take back to my district. I have felt valued and supported- thank you!
It has been a great experience & opportunity to have time set aside, specific to my district’s needs, to visit one-on-one with solution providers. RTM does a fantastic job in matching districts with those relevant solution providers to make my time spent here valuable and worthwhile. Thank you for providing me with this networking opportunity!
At this year's RTM meeting in San Diego, I appreciated the connections and inspiration that happens when leaders come together to learn and problem solved around some of the challenges that we are trying to address in public education.
