2026 Annual Meeting Strategy Summit
For 2026 we are changing the RISE committee agenda and will bring all committees and interested members into two extended general sessions focused on federal and state legislative, regulatory, and public affairs issues. The sessions will provide a level set on this year’s wins, forecasting for 2027, and preparations for the new strategic and tactical planning cycle as our 2021-2026 plan concludes. The program will include expert panels and interactive discussion among attendees to share perspectives, experiences, and insights to inform our planning process and future committee work.
Individual committee meetings are scheduled after the Strategy Summit concludes on both days. Check the annual meeting agenda for your committee’s meeting room.
