Regional Eggs & Issues Breakfast – April 17
Each year, The Public School Forum of North Carolina gathers hundreds of business, education and government leaders in Raleigh to discuss the most pressing education issues facing North Carolina that will drive policy debate in the upcoming legislative session. The annual Eggs & Issues Breakfast also debuts the Public School Forum’s Top Education Issues.
The UNCW Watson College of Education Professional Development System School-University Partnership, in partnership with The Public School Forum of North Carolina, will host a 2025 Regional Eggs & Issues Breakfast on Thursday, April 17th, from 8:00-11:00AM at UNCW’s Warwick Center.
