When an association values its team as much as its members, the results are inspiring! 


Today, we have a truly refreshing guest joining us Christina Lewellen, MBA, CAE, Executive Director of ATLIS, the Association of Technology Leaders in Independent Schools.


In this episode, our host Christine Shaw talks with Christina about her compelling journey from journalism student to association leader and shares invaluable insights into the fast-growing world of her relatively young association. She discusses the strategic elevation of technology leaders in educational institutions, especially post-COVID, and the innovative ways her small but mighty team is making an impact.


We dive into her unique leadership style and workplace culture, including cutting-edge practices like a four-day workweek, zero internal emails, and unlimited PTO. 


You’ll learn:

  • How embracing AI can boost efficiency.
  • The challenges and triumphs of launching a new credentialing program.
  • How to strategically leverage print as a top marketing tool.
  • How to maximize the powerful role of vendor partnerships.
