Regional Leadership Exchange

Regional Leadership Exchange

The Regional Leadership Exchange is a new quarterly convening designed to strengthen collaboration, shared learning, and strategic alignment among ASBN’s local and state affiliates. It provides a structured space for regional leaders to connect around shared priorities, exchange insights, and address common challenges. By fostering stronger regional networks and elevating affiliate leadership, the program supports collective success in 2026 and beyond.

Each session uses a blended format, combining regional updates with focused, issue-based discussions led by affiliate leaders to keep conversations grounded in real-world advocacy and organizational priorities. The Regional Leadership Exchange also features a fundraising and membership growth mastermind, giving participants the opportunity to explore practical strategies and gain peer support to help affiliates enhance their impact and long-term sustainability.

The Regional Leadership Exchange is driven by active affiliate participation, reinforcing peer leadership and collective action across regions. Rotating topics will cover various regions across the US.
