Leadership in the field is a big issue for 2026.
The 3 driving forces:
1.The more visible, central role your program now has in your institution;
2.The generational turnover and need to develop young leaders;
3.A society-wide demand for greater leadership. Continuing education and lifelong learning programs are emerging as both course developers of leadership and also as critical players in your community.
“Innovate. Elevate. Accelerate” is this year’s theme for the LERN 2026 Leadership Conference, March 2-5, 2026, in Savannah.
The intimate networking and discussion format is specifically designed to engage you in a conversation with your colleagues for both existing and aspiring leaders.
“We need more people to step up in their leadership roles at this critical time in society,” says Dr. Travette Webster, conference co-host and Vice President of LERN. “We have a strong core of leaders in our field that set a great example and model good leadership skills,” adds Brendan Marsello, the other co-host and also Vice President of LERN.
Join your colleagues for springtime in Savannah and the ideal setting for discussing your most important leadership issues.
