The Summits

The Meta-Leadership Summit for Preparedness will help you become prepared, connected and empowered to lead during times of crisis.

The Meta-Leadership Summit for Preparedness is a one- to two-day training and networking opportunity for high-level decision makers in business, government and nonprofit organizations.

Individuals who participate in a Meta-Leadership Summit:

• examine strengths and weaknesses of leaders and how these factors influence actions during times of crisis;
• identify potential partnerships that can be leveraged before, during and after a disaster strikes – gaining a better understanding of each sectors’ interests and motives; and
• apply meta-leadership tools and techniques to address potential threats in their own communities and states.

Leaders come away from the experience galvanized to practice meta-leadership both within their own organizations and as part of a multi-sector leadership team planning for or acting during a local or national emergency.

To date, eight Meta-Leadership Summits have engaged more than 1,200 leaders in Columbus, GA; Wichita, KS; Denver, CO; Louisville, KY; Princeton, NJ; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; and Dallas, TX. Additional summits are planned for the National Capital Region, the state of Maryland and more than 30 other states and metropolitan areas.

Participation in the summits is by invitation only. If you have not received an invitation and wish to take part in a summit, please call 404-523-1788 or e-mail summit@cdcfoundation.org.
