Fall Leadership Summit 2025

 

November 12 @ 8:00 am - November 14 @ 5:00 pm

GBA’s Fall Leadership Summit will be held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Denver, Colorado. This annual meeting is where the Board of Directors and Committee members convene for strategic planning and working sessions. It is an opportunity for our volunteers to complete assignments together for the current fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 and to identify and prioritize actions to focus on for the 2026-2027 fiscal year.

While much of the focus is on Committee work, the Fall Leadership Summit also provides professional development opportunities.
