Friday, August 22, General Session begins at 9 amBy his very nature and persona, Jay Wilkinson inspires. Jay brings the sizable added value of capturing the essence, insight and legacy of his famous father, legendary college football coach Bud Wilkinson. Through a collection of intimate and revealing letters written from father to son during the son’s formative college years, Jay unlocks and presents, for the first time anywhere, the dynamic of his father’s extraordinary success and transformational outlook on life and leadership.

Jay Wilkinson delivers a unique and refreshing perspective on leadership and inspires others to perform at more optimal levels. Simply stated, Jay Wilkinson is passionate about the success of those with whom he comes in contact. His presentations do make a difference.

Jay Wilkinson’s Can-Do Attitude: • Provides a framework of understanding to help organizations create an environment

filled with good values and solid interpersonal relationships• Emphasizes the importance of preparation and perseverance• Motivates his audiences to develop a caring attitude and concern for others• Sets the bar high, encouraging his audiences to set and articulate goals with great passion and conviction• Teaches others to overcome adversity and achieve uncommon success regardless of the challenges and disappointments along

the way.

Saturday, August 23, General Session begins at 1:30 pm The 2014 OSSBA Keynote Talk: The Art and Science of Intelligent Failure will focus on the concept of Intelligent Failure as a tool for success in professional and educational development. In the creative era, where the pace of technology outstrips our knowledge base, we must learn how to “fail forward.” Throughout this talk, Dr. Ben Michaelis will highlight his clinical work and the latest in psychological and neuropsychological research on failure. The keynote will be filled with gripping stories of everyday people as well as famous failures, including James Dyson, Bob Dylan and Michael Jordan. Dr. Michaelis will explain what Intelligent Failure is, why it is critical for students, teachers, and administrators and, in short, “what failure can do for you.”

Dr. Ben Michaelis is a clinical psychologist in full-time private practice in Manhattan. Dr. Michaelis writes and speaks regularly about play and creativity as they relate to well-being. He is the author of numerous popular and scholarly articles and is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post. Dr. Michaelis is a frequent guest on nationally syndicated TV shows such as, NBC’s The Today Show, The Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family, and MSNBC’s Your Business. Dr. Michaelis is the author of Your Next Big Thing: 10 Small Steps to Get Moving and Get Happy.

The Oklahoma State School Boards Association’s legislative agenda and the successes that we have are due to the participation of our membership. Throughout the year, the OSSBA collects legislative goal recommendations from you -- our members. The recommended goals are compiled and received by the Government Relations Committee. After the committee reviews the information, a final slate of legislative goals, positions and resolutions are sent to the Delegate Assembly. The Delegate Assembly is held each year in conjunction with The Conference. This year’s assembly is at 10 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 23 in Ballroom C. The OSSBA Delegate Assembly is an opportunity for you, as a member district, to take an active role in the creation and adoption of the OSSBA legislative initiatives for 2015. At the Delegate Assembly, each member district will have one vote on the legislative business of the Association. To be eligible for voting, each district must complete the membership renewal form, including a purchase order number, before the start of the conference. This is an inclusive meeting and process which helps create a strong legislative voice to meet the needs of Oklahoma school districts and students.
