2026 ED-RED Annual Kick-Off Luncheon

Join ED-RED on Friday, October 16, from 11:00 AM–2:00 PM at Ravinia Green Country Club for our Annual Kick-Off Luncheon as we begin another year of advocacy, connection, and collaboration on behalf of suburban public schools. We are thrilled to welcome Noelle Ellerson Ng, Chief Advocacy & Governance Officer at AASA, The School Superintendents Association, as our keynote speaker. Noelle will provide an engaging look at the national education landscape, including the policy and political developments shaping public education across the country, and what those changes could mean for Illinois schools and our local communities. The luncheon will also provide an opportunity for ED-RED members and education leaders to connect with colleagues, share perspectives, and look ahead to the priorities and challenges that will shape the year ahead. 📅 Friday, October 16, 2026 🕚 11:00 AM–2:00 PM 📍 Ravinia Green Country Club: 1200 Saunders Rd. | Riverwoods, IL 60015 We look forward to kicking off the year with you!
