Bold Advocacy for Disability Equity
Why Attend?
If you work in disability advocacy, services, or support, this is where you need to be.
The Arc’s 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. Over two and half days, you’ll connect with peers from across the country, hear from thought leaders and subject matter 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 pressing challenges and opportunities many of you are facing: building 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 work.
Join us, and leave recharged, informed, and ready for anything.
Can’t make it this year? You can still show up by making a donation.
