The Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) welcomed Debra Wilson as the new president of the association in 2019. Debra is an accomplished attorney and served as general counsel to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) for nearly two decades. In this episode, we have a conversation with Debra about managing legal issues within independent schools. We also asked her about the impact of COVID-19 on independent schools and the decisions that SAIS schools will face in the coming years.
