NCAN 2025
Executive Leadership Retreat
At the National College Attainment Network (NCAN) 2025 Leadership Summit, join fellow CEOs and Executive Directors from NCAN member organizations for a unique opportunity to
engage in thought leadership and collaborative discussions with peers and field leaders. NCAN's executive leadership team will facilitate conversations on the most pressing topics facing education leaders today.
This retreat will also provide dedicated planning time to help leaders identify actionable next steps to strengthen their organizations in one or more of the following critical areas:
- Addressing the "college isn't for everyone" narrative
- Scaling, funding, and partnership development amid economic and political challenges
- Navigating anti-DEI polices that threaten opportunities to attainment
An Executive Leaders' Working Lunch will also be provided.
Register today to secure your spot and take advantage of our early-bird pricing before January 31! Registration includes access to the rest of the Leadership Summit programming.
Who Should Attend?
The retreat is specifically designed for CEOs and Executive Directors who:
- Have the organizational capacity to influence and drive meaningful change.
- Can allocate staff and financial resources toward strategic initiatives.
- Are prepared to engage in high-level discussions that will shape the future of college attainment and equity.
This session will run concurrently with other policy content workshops on Monday morning, before all Summit attendees gather in the afternoon for advocacy training. The retreat will provide CEOs and Executive Directors an opportunity to engage in
thought leadership and collaborative discussions with peers in NCAN’s membership. The retreat will be capped at 45 participants, so be sure to register early. You will be able to indicate your participation in the retreat
