Metis Leadership Group is blessed to know the following people and organizations. They provide support in education and the community at large. Their work supports kids, families, teachers, counselors, principals as well as parents and families. They represent what we need in the broad realm of education. In Metis’ opinion, they individually and collectively provide humane, superb service that is the highest quality and integrity.
What they do is serve the people and what they do works for all of us. The purpose of providing these links in not to imply any endorsement by them of Metis. Quite the opposite, Metis endorses the service they provide in their own areas and hope that this small means of letting you know about them will possibly serve you and your constituency.
