September 9-11, 2026 | Kenai Peninsula, Alaska
Rural Leadership & Systems Summit
Three practical workshop days for Tribal Governments, village corporations, rural businesses, nonprofits, and program leaders who need clearer leadership systems, stronger financial management, ready-to-use documents, and support that understands village work.
Why attend
Leave with a clearer plan, stronger tools, and a better way to carry the work home.
This is not a sit-and-listen conference. Each day is designed around the real issues rural organizations carry: unclear roles, missing policies, HR questions, financial decisions, employee benefits, Board/Council communication, SOPs, forms, and implementation plans that need to survive after everyone travels home.
What participants receive
Training, examples, checklists, templates, discussion time, partner expertise, and clear next steps to bring back to their organization.
How registration works
Choose one day, two days, or all three days. Each day is $375 per attendee.
Agenda
Choose the day or days that match your organization's needs.
Each day can stand alone, or your organization can attend all three for the full leadership, finance, policy, and implementation experience.
