DET27 + CHI27 Ignite and Inspire

This engaging virtual session, hosted on Zoom, is your opportunity to learn more about how Surge supports emerging leaders in education and social impact who are ready to grow their leadership, deepen their impact, and move in community.

This event will feature a dynamic conversation between two of Surge’s Executive Directors—Andrea Black Evans, Executive Director of Surge Academy, and Ulric Shannon, Executive Director of Surge Fellowship Chicago—both of whom are also proud Surge alumni. Together, they will share their leadership journeys, reflect on the impact of Surge, and offer insight into what it means to lead with purpose and in community.

Surge is more than a program; it is a movement. We are committed to building a diverse, values-aligned network of leaders who are working to create more equitable and just education systems. We hope you will join us and take that first step toward growing your leadership in community.
