Mission statement
OSBA leads the way to educational excellence by serving
Ohio’s public school board members and the diverse districts they
represent through superior service and creative solutions.
The Capital Conference has become one
of the leading education conventions in
the country. Whether you’re a school
board member, district administrator or
building-level professional, I know you will find a wealth of ideas to
increase student achievement, maximize resources and make your
district run more efficiently.
President’s Message
It is with great enthusiasm that I
welcome you to the 56th annual OSBA
Capital Conference and Trade Show.
Our theme this year is “Focus on
Ohio’s children,” and every facet of the
conference reflects that theme.
There are so many valuable resources for you to take advantage of
during your time in Columbus. The three General Sessions, two
Conference Luncheons and Early Bird Workshop feature nationally
known speakers who are sure to illuminate, educate and inspire
you. Hundreds of experts from all corners of the public education
world will share their innovations and insights in scores of breakout
sessions and workshops.
With more than 10,000 attendees, the conference will provide
countless opportunities to network with colleagues to discuss
ideas, challenges and solutions. The world-class Trade Show — the
largest education-related exhibition in the nation — is filled with
all the goods and services your district needs to succeed. The 13th
annual Student Achievement Fair boasts 100 booths displaying the
most innovative programs Ohio has to offer, along with student
entertainment groups and a fine arts exhibit.
Be sure to visit University Square, a higher education information
exchange located at the rear of the Trade Show. New to the
conference this year, University Square has Ohio college and
university representatives on hand to help school districts better
advise their students about postsecondary education opportunities.
A “Spotlight on Universities” workshop Monday afternoon will
provide additional information.
You work hard for your students and schools year-round, so enjoy
your conference. Learn all you can. Gather information and ideas to
take home. Make as many contacts as possible.
Thank you for attending the 2011 Capital Conference. And, thank
you for all you do for Ohio’s 1.9 million schoolchildren.
Cathy Johnson
2011 OSBA president
South-Western City board member

Speaker: Murray Banks
Recharge, re-energize, refocus —
leading in tough and changing
times
Skilled storytellers make the
Murray Banks
best presenters, and Murray
Banks is just that. A champion
of education and a world-class athlete, he has
been honored as Vermont’s Teacher of the Year,
recognized nationally with the Outstanding
Educator Award and was one of the top finishers
in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship.
Having honed his skills at every level from
elementary to university, he is a master teacher
and motivator. Banks’ interactive, humorous
style deeply engages audiences. He knows that
school board members are caught between the
proverbial “rock and a hard place” with highstakes testing and financial accountability on
one side and a challenged and frustrated faculty
on the other. His presentation focuses on the
leadership traits that foster a climate of success
for faculty, staff and students, along with the
skills and motivation to be adaptable, resilient
and responsive. Moderator: Rob Delane, deputy executive director, OSBA

Speaker: Wes Moore
The transformative power of education
An Army combat veteran, Rhodes scholar, White
House fellow, author, youth advocate and
business leader, Wes Moore is an American
success story. But it wasn’t always so. Raised in a
single-parent household in Baltimore, Moore was
drawn toward trouble as a child, enough so that
his mother enrolled him in a military school.
That choice changed the course of his life. Moore
addresses this very issue of choice in his New York
Times bestseller, The Other Wes Moore. The book
tells the story of another Wes Moore, a man
about the same age and raised in the same
neighborhood by a single mother. The other man’s
fate was starkly different — a murder conviction
and a life sentence without parole. Moore,
intrigued by their similar upbringings and deeply
divergent lives, wrote his book to explore how
small choices make big differences in life. He
believes that support systems — dedicated networks
of families, mentors, teachers, friends and
colleagues — have a lasting impact on individuals.
That’s why he is committed to helping kids find
the support they need to succeed.
Sponsors: Pepple & Waggoner Ltd. and Ross, Sinclaire &
Associates LLC

Lyn St. James
Introduction of speaker: John Pennycuff,
OSBA immediate past
president, board member, Winton Woods City
Speaker: Lyn St. James
An incredible journey
Ohio native Lyn St. James completed her first
Indianapolis 500 in 1992 at the age of 45 and
became just the second woman in history to
race in the event. Some doubted that a woman
could keep up with male drivers, and St. James
struggled to get the sponsorships she needed
to race. Proving the doubters wrong, she
finished 11th that year, became the first female
Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year and went
on to drive in six more Indy 500 races. Fueled by
inspiration and limitless motivation, St. James
managed to rise through the ranks and set 31
closed circuit speed records; notch two victories
at the 24 Hours of Daytona and one at the 12
Hours of Sebring; and raced in the 24 Hours
of Le Mans. Sports Illustrated for Women selected
her as one of the Top-100 Women Athletes of
the Century. This amazing woman’s story is not
simply about being a successful race car driver.
Her mission is to share her experience and help
others. In 1993 she launched the Lyn St. James
Foundation, Driver Development Program and
Women in the Winner’s Circle. She’s giving back
to those who follow, like so many gave to her on
her incredible journey.
Sponsors: CompManagement Inc.; FirstEnergy Solutions
Corp.; Peck, Shaffer & Williams LLP; and PNC.

Speaker: Jamie Vollmer
Schools cannot do it alone
Jamie Vollmer is a friend of public education
and author of the highly acclaimed book Schools
Cannot Do It Alone. Vollmer was once a harsh
critic of public schools. His transformation came
after a speech to teachers on behalf of a business
group that believed schools should be run as
businesses. He shares that experience in “The
Blueberry Story,” in which an outraged teacher
educates him — in no uncertain terms — about
the dramatic difference between educating kids
and running a business. Vollmer acknowledges
that public education needs meaningful change,
but it also needs aggressive support if America
is to thrive. Using statistics, logic and humor,
he delivers positive messages about our schools’
future and strongly supports providing all
students the opportunity to succeed. In 2010,
the National School Public Relations Association
presented him with its Learning and Liberty
Award.

Services; Peck, Shaffer & Williams LLP; and

Stacey Bess
Speaker: Stacey Bess
Beyond the blackboard
Young Stacey Bess’ first teaching assignment
— the only job she could find — was at “The
School with No Name.” In a small shed behind a
homeless shelter, Bess taught elementary children
with no homes and little hope, an experience
that profoundly changed the teacher, as well as
her students. She discovered that by teaching
and modeling love, self-worth, personal power
and courage she could reach children who
had previously been labeled unteachable. She
chronicled the experience in her memoir, Nobody
Don’t Love Nobody: Lessons on Love from the School
With No Name, which inspired the 2011 Hallmark
Hall of Fame Movie “Beyond the Blackboard.”
As a child, Bess saw firsthand the power of
love and service in the example of her mother,
who provided emergency care for traumatized
children in their home. She still remembers the
many times that frightened children were tucked
into bed with her in the middle of the night.
As a teenager, she found writing poetry to be
a healing process and now incorporates poetry
into her teaching. Bess has been recognized with
a number of awards, including the National
Jefferson Award for Greatest Public Service.
She continues to share her message around the
country, advocating for the educational rights of
impoverished children.

Leadership and education — what I’ve learned
from a lifetime of reporting
Over the past 40 years, former “CBS Evening
News” anchor and “60 Minutes” correspondent
Dan Rather has been part of history’s defining
moments. With fierce dedication to hard news,
he has chronicled the events that have shaped
our world. Rather has reported from front lines,
including Afghanistan, Vietnam, Bosnia and
Haiti. On the domestic front, Rather has covered
nearly every major story. He stayed on the air for
18 hours following the 9/11 attacks. He reported
on the Watergate scandal, the civil rights
movement and every presidential campaign since
1952. He continues his award-winning reporting
on “Dan Rather Reports,” a weekly news
program featuring field reports and investigative
pieces on the HDNet cable channel. Few can
match the experience and perspective Rather
offers on world events and the significance of
journalism in our time.
