USBG National Education Week 2020
Our fourth annual USBG National Education Week is here! Each year, the USBG Education Committee asks chapters to provide a multi-day seminar (or ‘Academy Days’ as they were previously called) for its members as part of a collected organization-wide initiative to highlight and focus on ongoing education offerings for USBG members. The Education Week events are promoted with the common hashtag #USBGedweek. In 2019, 43 chapters participated, providing 196 hours of learning opportunities for 2,500 attendees! Below are some answers to frequently asked questions to help your chapter plan for #USBGedweek 2020.
What is USBG National Education Week? National Education Week is an initiative of the USBG National Education Committee to showcase the educational opportunities that our chapters execute around the country and support the USBG’s mission to provide ongoing professional development and learning for its members.

The 2020 Education Week committee members are @Christina Basham (Columbus), @Brantley Newton (Orlando), @Olivia Patterson (Indianapolis), @Bradley Stephens (Portland), and @Frederic Yarm (Boston).

How do I get involved? Contact your local chapter leadership to find out how you can help. Each chapter will designate an Education Week Chapter Lead. The Chapter Lead will be the liaison between the Chapter and the National Education Committee. Chapter Lead roles are still being filled now! If your chapter needs to nominate a Lead or if you have questions, please email edcom@usbg.org.
