Send a Beacon Director to the Annual Leadership Summit
We are $3,200 away from our goal!
ABOUT:
The Leadership Summit brings Beacon Directors together in a reflective and intentional space, where they can pause, slow down, and reconnect with themselves as leaders, their purpose, and their vision. By stepping away from programs, they create the opportunity to look inward, deepen their connections as colleagues, share joy, and engage in meaningful learning. This gathering aims to foster collaboration, ensuring they lean on each other and work collectively, rather than in silos, to strengthen their roles and our shared mission as Beacons.
OBJECTIVES:
Strengthen expertise of the Beacon model
Learn best practices of Beacons
Develop leadership skills with reflection and learning
Feel motivated in and connected to the Beacon strategy
Build community with peers
Celebrate achievements and milestones
