What I Learned About Servant Leadership From Annie Ray

Intro by Robert Landau

Description: Josh Reppun stands on the shoulders of giants: several key teachers he had at Punahou School, teacher, and EdTech mentors during his 17 years in the classroom, Ted Dintersmith, founder of What School Could Be, and, of course, his activist Reppun ohana from the Koʻolaupoko District on the Windward Side of Oahu. His remarks will focus on how he has moved from being a shy, introverted, behind-the-scenes kid to providing a platform for others to tell their stories of education innovation, creativity, and service. He will also share what he learned about servant leadership from Annie Ray. 

Josh Reppun was born and raised within the Reppun ohana on the Windward Side of Oahu.
