NAIS Strategic Planning Project

In February 2025, NAIS began a long-range strategic planning process to ensure that we are meeting the evolving needs of our members. This process involves a thorough review of our offerings, including the ways we support our members’ inclusion and belonging goals, which is key to fulfilling our mission. 

Partnership 

To help us with this exploration, we are partnering with MehtaCognition, a leadership and strategy consultancy with a deep commitment to independent schools and a broad understanding of NAIS as an organization. The work is being led by its founder and president, Nishant Mehta, and senior managing director, Allen Broyles. 

Member Input

We are grateful for the time, care, and candor members have shown in giving us their feedback during the need-finding and research phases of this strategic planning work, through conversations, focus groups, and surveys. Your input is informing our ongoing exploration and action planning.

If you have questions about the strategic planning work, please send an email to enage@nais.org.
