“eloquent”… “inspiring”… “informative”… “challenging”… “energizing”

That’s how audiences describe Eileen Kugler. Through engaging speaking and consulting, Eileen brings her passionate belief in the benefits of diversity to the challenge of strengthening our nation’s diverse schools and communities. Her award-winning book, “Debunking the Middle-Class Myth: Why diverse schools are good for all kids,” is inspiring new honest dialogue on what diversity brings to our neighborhoods. Her commentaries appear in publications from USA Today and The Washington Post to Educational Leadership and The National School Boards Journal.

Eileen’s commitment was motivated by the education of her children at one of the most diverse schools in the nation with students from wide-ranging cultures and economic backgrounds, hailing from nearly 90 nations. Blending her professional expertise as a communications expert with her volunteer commitment, Eileen worked collaboratively with administrators, faculty, parents, students and community members to rebuild the school’s crumbling community support and turn it into a vibrant focal point of its multicultural community. Eileen was named Education Advocate of the Year by the American Association of University Women-Virginia

Today Eileen speaks to audiences from Anchorage to Atlanta, Chicago to Seattle, and consults with school districts throughout the country. As one educational leader said, “There are people who speak well, and people who write well, but few do both as well as Eileen.”
