Summer Leadership Institute
The Summer Leadership Institute, hosted by The Arc and the National Conference of Executives of The Arc (NCE), unites executives, leaders, and professionals from across the disability field in pursuit of a shared purpose: ensuring people with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD) achieve their full civil and human rights and are fully included in their communities.
The Summer Leadership Institute is an intimate networking and professional development event designed to foster a community of mentorship among chapter leaders and staff. The event is filled with innovative presentations on critical issues facing the disability community.
Attendees engage in constructive dialogue and discussion, gain valuable knowledge of current issues facing the disability community, and take away strategies that they can implement in their own leadership journey.
This year’s event focuses on the most pressing issues in the disability community, including building up the next generation of leaders, sustaining and growing your organization, navigating policy and funding threats, and driving innovation in advocacy and services..
