A one-day conference featuring some of the brightest minds in healthcare, education, non-profit, and small business—all seeking the best for West Virginia.

Theme: Leading Through Headwinds

Everything rises and falls on leadership.

Leadership is using your voice or influence to take someone to a destination they would not have reached on their own. In these days and in our world, leadership is more essential than ever.

We're facing unparalleled headwinds.

The headwinds that people in our state presently face are unlike anything most of us have seen in our lifetimes. Now is the time for leaders to lend their voices creatively, passionately, empathetically, and courageously to the conversations taking place in every city across our great state.

Our best days are ahead.

We believe the best days for West Virginia can be in our future. Our state can become a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration to our nation as we:

  • lead the way in solving difficult problems.
  • innovate extraordinary solutions.
  • come together even in a climate that is socially and politically polarizing.
