About The Event & NCE

The Summer Leadership Institute is the leading event for executives, senior leaders, and staff across the disability and public service sectors. Due to COVID-19 safety concerns and precautions, the 2020 Summer Leadership Institute will be presented in a virtual format.

This year’s program will provide a series of FREE live streaming events and on-demand webinars spread across July and August. This year’s sessions cover everything from the financial challenges of COVID-19, providing direct services, and navigating policy to advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

If you’d like to help us continue to provide professional development opportunities to help you meet the needs of your organizations and communities, please consider donating to support our work.
