AAASP's Dr. Jenny Millward will be participating in the 107th NFHS Summer Meeting hosted in Salt Lake City, UT this weekend.
The NFHS Annual Summer Meeting is the exclusive conference for NFHS membership - state high school athletic/activities associations' staffs and boards of directors. This event allows state associations from across the country an opportunity to network and participate in professional development programs.
In addition to attending the conference, Dr. Millward was invited to present in a fireside chat panel focused on the philosophy of why, and what factors can contribute to the success of a sustained culture of access and opportunity entitled "Inclusion of Students with Disabilities Forum" on June 29. More photos to come!

The NFHS is the national leader and advocate for high school athletics as well as fine and performing arts programs. Within our 51 member state associations, we serve 19,500 high schools and more than 12 million young people
