Summer Leadership Institute
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 sector 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 amongst chapter leaders and staff. The event is filled with innovative presentations on the hottest topics in the disability and public service sectors.
Attendees engage in constructive dialogue and discussion, gain valuable knowledge of current issues facing the disability community, and receive educational materials to further develop and hone their professional skills.
This year’s event focuses on the most pressing issues affecting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and the broader IDD community including threats to Medicaid, sustainability of small local chapters, board recruitment and non-profit management, staff recruitment and retention, the impact of technology on supports and services and much more.
