The Alliance for Education’s annual Convening Seattle Community Luncheon gathers the community to raise funds and increase awareness of educational issues facing Seattle students, families, and educators. Each year, this luncheon provides a platform for critical discussions and collective action to support our public schools.

For 2024, the key conversation centered on Collective Impact and Strategic Alignment. The 2024 theme emphasized the importance of creating cross-sector collaborations in public education to improve outcomes for every student.

Thank you to all who attended the event!
