KEYNOTE PANEL DISCUSSION: INNOVATION IN PUBLIC EDUCATION
Nellie Tayloe Sanders Oklahoma Secretary of Education
Nellie Tayloe Sanders serves as Oklahoma’s Secretary of Education, appointed in January 2024. She is driven by the belief that America’s greatest resource is the untapped ingenuity of its children. Her experience as a dyslexic thinker navigating a system that didn’t reflect her strengths shaped her commitment to creating an education system that discovers and nurtures the unique potential in every student.
A native of Washington, D.C., Sanders graduated from Salve Regina University and began her career with Condé Nast Publications working for various magazines like House & Garden, Brides and WIRED, she honed her ability to solve complex challenges with innovative thinking. Later, at the Center of Family Love, she raised over $25 million to provide opportunities for individuals with developmental differences. Sanders believes no child born under the American flag should be denied the opportunity to rise and become the tallest figure of their time. She is committed to creating an education system that reflects the greatest promise of America—one that celebrates individual potential, freedom, and boundless opportunity for all.
