We enable school boards and district administrators to perform individually and jointly at their highest levels.

We provide both individual and group customized sessions designed to maximize leadership potential and success.

Customization
We will customize our services to consult individually or as a team depending on each district’s needs and circumstances.
What Our Clients Say
The strength of ELC lies in the combination of unique, yet perfectly blended, leadership perspectives of both Nancy and Amy. Combining the lens of a superintendent with that of a board president makes for a powerful, and very insightful, synthesis of knowledge and experience. Our retreat was really well done, and we are looking forward to the follow-up session to build on the learning that took place.
Dr. James Crisfield, Superintendent
Wissahickon School District
As the Co-Chair of the Fox Rothschild LLP Education Law Department, I have attended more than 9,500 school board meetings and am very aware of the need to have continual discussions regarding the efficacy of current board governance practices.
Although a number of individuals and firms do governance training for school boards, I can say from having observed them that no other entity in Pennsylvania more effectively addresses governance related issues than the team of Dr. Nancy Hacker and Amy Goldman. What makes Dr. Hacker and Amy Goldman unique and so effective is their partnership and relatability. Dr. Hacker brings her years of experience as a gifted Superintendent and Amy Goldman brings hers as an engaged School Parent and School Board President. Together they employ their real world governance experiences to guide board members and superintendents in thoughtful discussion and exercises to help navigate their existing and potential governance challenges.
They deserve 5 out of 5 stars.
