Building Resilience, Cultivating Sustainability, and Shaping Our Future
Why Attend?
If you lead or work in the disability field, this is where you need to be.
The Summer Leadership Institute is the premier training and professional development experience for chapter leaders and disability professionals who want to sharpen their skills, exchange real-world strategies, and prepare for what’s next. In just two and half days, you’ll connect with peers from across the country, hear from leading experts, and dive deep into what’s working—and what’s not—in our shared mission to support people with disabilities.
This year, we’re tackling the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing our movement: building up the next generation of leaders, sustaining and growing your organization, navigating policy and funding threats, and driving innovation in advocacy and services.
This conference is a tight-knit, intentional space where every conversation matters and every attendee is invested in strengthening our field.
Join us—and leave recharged, informed, and ready for anything.
Can’t make it this year? You can still show up for our mission by making a donation.
