About

This week we’re sharing the Education Policy Panel from CLT’s 2025 Annapolis Summit. CLT’s CFO, Noah Tyler, leads Dcn. Harrison Garlick, Adam Kissel, and Bill Mattox in a conversation about the challenges and tensions they’ve navigated in education policy, where they’ve experienced success, and where things need to go from here. We’re looking forward to more engaging conversations next year at the 2027 Summit!
