What to Expect
Every year, the Leadership Summit is a defining moment to sharpen our strategy, align our priorities, share best practices across regions and generate bold new ideas for the work ahead. We are navigating a dangerous political landscape both at home and in Israel. This moment demands the clarity and courage to take action.
This is our chance to push back – beyond coming together as a community, hearing from leading experts and participating in essential skill-building sessions: this year’s Summit will put our values into practice where it matters most – Georgia.
We begin with action in Georgia
To kickoff our Summit, participants will head into communities across the Atlanta area in support of Senator Jon Ossoff. Before the panels and plenaries– we will knock on doors, talk with voters, and help build the grassroots momentum needed to win one of the most consequential races in the country.
Starting the Summit in the field sends a clear message: our values aren’t just something we talk about – they’re something we live and breathe through our actions. With one of the most pivotal midterm elections of our lifetimes fast approaching, we’ll come together to show the strength of our movement, and lay the groundwork for victories in Georgia and across the nation.
This is how we win – by showing up early, standing together and fighting for the future we believe in. Join us today!
