The Section Forum & Workshop brings together section volunteers through two events—in Prague, Czechia and Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. This is a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and help shape the future of your section.
This dynamic, two-day experience combines the strongest elements of the District Leadership Conference and the Volunteer Workshop into one highly practical, action-oriented event. Participants will engage in meaningful discussions, share ideas and best practices, and work together to develop mission-focused plans for building and sustaining vibrant, successful sections.
The Section Forum & Workshop is designed to energize and equip you with ideas, resources, and connections you can put into action right away. You will leave with renewed motivation, stronger peer networks, and practical tools to support your section’s success.
