Join us for the Leadership Summit, the largest gathering in Alaska of nonprofit leaders. Bring your staff and your board. Unlike traditional conferences, the Leadership Summit is highly interactive, deeply engaging, and immediately applicable to your nonprofit work. We carefully select each of our national guests not only for their expertise, but for their ability to facilitate rather than just present on a topic. This means you are invited to explore a topic with them, not just have it come at you.
You will also be joined by the whole Foraker team who will be ready to provide support, make connections, and highlight new Foraker tools and resources. Come to the summit to learn, catch up with colleagues, meet new friends, and deepen your support network.
We host the Leadership Summit every two years in the spring. The next summit will be held in April 2025.
To attract leaders from all parts of Alaska, the summit is held in Anchorage as a central location.
We make every effort to keep costs low. In 2023, the summit fee was $425 for general admission or $375 for Foraker Partners. Costs may be adjusted for each summit and do not include meals, travel, or lodging.
We'd love to have you join our group of sponsors. Contact us to learn more about how you can help support the next event.
