CQbd Association Executives Summit

Based on attendees' input re: their interests, challenges, goals, skills, and successes, the exact agenda will be determined in the weeks prior to and even the day of this event. The 2026 CQbd Association Executives Summit will not feature "sage on the stage" or presentation-style sessions but instead will highlight small group discussions and peer-to-peer learning. If this approach resonates with you and you want to play a significant role in crafting an event like this, join us on September 1st!

Another unique aspect of the Summit is that this cohort will have the opportunity at no additional cost to participate in at least two follow up Zoom calls (November 2026 and January 2027) to check in with colleagues, continue the discussions, and extend the learning.
