Join us for MPI-CAC’s Leadership Day 2026 — an afternoon dedicated to growth, connection, and leadership development.
This year’s program features keynote speaker Christine Sandman Stone, delivering actionable strategies to help you scale your impact, sharpen your focus, and lead with clarity in a demanding event landscape. Designed for both current and emerging leaders, Leadership Day brings together our community for meaningful conversations, practical tools, and intentional networking.
This half-day program is complimentary to current chapter members, and features a keynote and interactive workshop, followed by a panel. The day concludes with a networking reception - an opportunity to connect with peers, explore volunteer pathways, and strengthen our community.
