Overview
Through a full day and a half of engaging educational sessions, participants gain fresh insights and actionable strategies to strengthen their leadership, amplify their impact, and advance the well-being of children, families, and communities.
Take What You Need
Leadership requires you to navigate complexity, lead people, strengthen culture, solve challenges, and shape what comes next. That's why we created the FFTA Leadership Summit, so leaders can step away from the day-to-day and focus on developing solutions together. Because stronger leadership isn't built in isolation.
Location & Accommodations
The Leadership Summit will take place at Circa, 8 Fremont Street, Las Vegas, NV.
FFTA has secured a discounted room rate of $169 (plus taxes) a night for Summit attendees. To receive this special rate, reservations must be made by September 25, 2026, or before the room block fills—whichever comes first.
Bringing Leaders Together
The FFTA 2026 Leadership Summit is intentionally designed for senior/executive level leaders and boards from nonprofit organizations of varying sizes and missions navigating increasing complexity, accountability, and change, including but not limited to:
Chief Executive Officers and Executive Directors
Senior Leadership Team Members
Board Chairs, Officers, and Board Members
Emerging nonprofit sector leaders
To encourage stronger board-management partnerships, FFTA is offering a discounted rate of $299 for Board Chairs, Officers, and Board Members attending in partnership with agency leadership.
This year’s event features three tracks:
-
For C-suite executives and Executive Directors who hold enterprise-wide leadership responsibility and/or report directly to the board.
-
For leaders currently serving on an organization's board of directors, with sessions focused on governance, fiduciary responsibility, and strategic oversight.
-
For directors, managers, supervisors, program- or state-level Executive Directors, and other organizational leaders who lead teams, programs, functions, or operations but do not report directly to the board.
Adaptive Leadership: How We Navigate Change
Being willing to challenge assumptions, respond thoughtfully to changing circumstances, and recognize that some of our most pressing problems cannot be solved by relying on the approaches we've always used.
Impact and Systems Influence: How We Shape the Future
How can we use data and evidence to demonstrate meaningful outcomes? How can we build stronger partnerships, elevate the voices of those we serve, and influence the systems in which we operate? And how can we ensure that the work we're doing today contributes to lasting, positive change?
Resilience and Sustainability: How Our Organizations Endure
Building healthy, resilient organizations that can withstand uncertainty while continuing to support the workforce, maintain strong operations, and continue serving children and families well into the future.
