Chief executives of Independent Sector members share closed-door, in-depth, peer-to-peer exchanges on issues relevant to running their organizations. CEO Track sessions occur each year as part of the IS Conference. There is no additional registration fee for the track or its sessions, but advance sign-up is required and participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. The CEO Summit is limited to 150 participants and the other sessions are limited to 45 to encourage discussion. CEO Track signup will open in July.
The CEO Track is where leaders from nonprofits and foundations can have candid discussions and receive valuable feedback and insight that you can't get at any other conference. It's great for new CEOs and just as important for established leaders to have these unguarded peer-to-peer conversations. - Ralph B. Everett, president and CEO, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies
