Comments on our 2024 Allyship Conference: "Thank you so much for the opportunity to connect with such a dedicated group of educators, and for your thoughtful and courageous leadership. The country needs you and the people you are preparing!" Dara Horn, Keynote Speaker
"This conference walked the walk much better than most, and consistently asked the participants to share observations and questions--which got well-informed, thoughtful responses. You had some really outstanding speakers who have really considered what they are seeing, where it is leading, how to change course--which won't happen fast but isn't impossible--and what the costs are to not doing so." Alexandra Schmidt, Math Instructor Emma Willard School (NY)
"OESIS said it would be a conference like no other, and I think you really delivered on that. I've never attended a conference for K-12 educators in independent schools focused on the topic of antisemitism, and really, more broadly, on the experience of being Jewish in independent schools. It really was a gift you gave all of us who attended, and I'm grateful for that. And I'm also inspired to lean into the work of supporting Jewish and non-Jewish students around the issues we raised more fully." Benjamin Joffe, Latin Teacher, Browning School (NY)
