6 Critical ALP Actions Discussion
LIMITED
Friday September 4, 2026 8:00am - 9:15am MDT
Salon A @ Denver Marriott Westminster
Limited Capacity seats available
A central outcome of the spring 2026 Gifted Director meeting was the identification of six critical actions to move ALPs from compliance to meaningful impact. These actions reflect both urgency and direction for our collective work. These actions are not intended as additional initiatives, but as leverage points to strengthen and align the work many of you are already leading. This session continues the work by engaging in conversations, developing ideas for continued work, identifying what is working and what support is needed.
