Summer Leaders is our yearly leadership training where NCAE members come together to build the skills we need to lead and grow. See below for more details, logistics, and updates and register TODAY!

This year, we started the work of rebuilding our union and taking back our state. We've come so far this year, and yet, there is so much left to do.

Key information about Summer Leaders

This year, to allow more flexibility, we are dividing summer leaders into 2 parts and offering some in person and some virtual options. Summer Leaders Part 2 will build on the content covered in Part 1. All participants attending Part 2 should also register for a Part 1 session of their choice. If you have additional questions or need assistance with your registration, please email info@ncae.org.

For the Part 2 training, we are offering 2 sessions to accommodate more people, but we strongly encourage locals to choose a week, bring their whole team together, and leave with a work plan that allows you to hit the “back-to-school” ground running. Please connect with your local organized and sign up ASAP!
