Welcome to the 2024 Summer Leadership Conference where our community of leaders will gather to learn with and from each other, collaborate and network. Our theme, Leading with Purpose: Setting Sail for Success, captures the heart of our shared vision. Like skilled captains setting a deliberate course, we must steer through the shifting seas with a firm dedication to our goals. Our purpose is our North Star, showing the way through the waters of challenges and opportunities. Purpose gives our actions meaning, keeps us connected to our core values, and drives us toward our vision of excellence.

Registration is currently open for all attendees. Registration closes on July 9.
