Industrial diversification, placemaking investments, regional collaboration, a mindset shift, talent retention and attraction strategies are some of the factors local elected and business leaders credited for the momentum the South Bend-Elkhart region is experiencing at IBJ Media’s Engage Indiana series event highlighting Elkhart, Marshall and St. Joseph counties. For an area still largely regarded for its manufacturing prowess, the northern Indiana region is experiencing what its leaders refer to as a renaissance.

At The Holdsworth Center, we have a front row seat to public education leadership. Through our work developing and supporting sitting and aspiring superintendents, we’ve witnessed the responsibilities, challenges and opportunities of the superintendency. We’ve gotten to know—and have come to admire—the mission-driven people working tirelessly on behalf of students. Regardless of tenure, experience, geography or district size, we are seeing superintendents stretched to their limits. The role has always been challenging. But something in the past decade has shifted it to something that can feel almost impossible. When the job looks or feels impossible, we lose not only great superintendents, but we also discourage other talented leaders from taking on the role. We need a clearer, more hopeful picture of the role. One that can help superintendents—and those who aspire to the job—to identify and develop the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in this complex role. That’s why our President, Lindsay Whorton wrote “Beyond Impossible: Making the Shifts Necessary to Thrive in the Superintendent Role.” The superintendents we work with have found this resource valuable and, with their encouragement, we are sharing it more broadly. https://lnkd.in/dhudptAE

Recently, ARI’s Co-Founder and Executive Director, Jamie Wright, graduated Delta Regional Authority’s Delta Leadership Institute in Jackson, MS. DLI Fellows represent each of the eight DRA states and are selected by the eight governors and the federal co-chairman from a competitive pool representing the public and private sectors. During the nine-month program, fellows attend six sessions held in different locations across the region and focus on areas such as transportation, infrastructure, government relations, and regional collaboration. The 2024 Class began last October in New Orleans, LA, with sessions in Little Rock, AR, Baton Rouge, LA, Carbondale, IL, Cape Girardeau, MO, and Jackson, MS. "DLI has been one of the greatest experiences both professionally and personally. To be among this group of servant leaders was humbling. I am thankful for the opportunity, our leadership team, and those who were on this journey alongside me." – Jamie R. Wright The DRA was established in 2000 as a formal framework for joint federal-state collaboration to promote and encourage the economic development of the lower Mississippi River and Alabama Black Belt regions. To fulfill this purpose, DRA invests in projects supporting transportation infrastructure, basic public infrastructure, workforce training and business development. DRA’s region encompasses 252 counties and parishes in parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee.
