The event offers an opportunity for community members to stay informed about the progress and future direction of the Duneland School Corp. It also provides a platform for engagement and dialogue with the community's educational leadership.

“We are excited to partner with the Duneland School Corp. for this event,” said Maura Mundell, chamber president, in a press release. “This collaboration highlights the vital relationship between our chamber and the local schools.”
