The 2020 Un-Summit: A Leadership Forum

Partnering With Communities to Improve Health Outcomes

COVID-19 and new attention to the effects of structural racism have reinforced that Partnering with Communities to Improve Health Outcomes is more important than ever for health care leaders.  Thus, it is with great enthusiasm we announce our 2020 signature offering will be going virtual in a new and exciting format this year. The 2020 Un-Summit: A Leadership Forum is a 9-week series of live, interactive and on-demand events held September 24 through November 19, 2020.

The Un-Summit is a robust virtual learning package designed for busy leaders to learn together, spur bold ideas, develop new connections and build resilience as we tackle the most pressing issues facing the health of our communities today. While our understanding of the content will build sequentially through the series, we recognize time constraints on leaders in today’s environment and have created pathways for participants to “catch up” via recorded, on-demand content.    

Key Features of The 2020 Un-Summit – A Leadership Forum:

  • Unique virtual learning package delivered over 9-weeks
  • Flexible for busy leaders with live, interactive and on-demand content
  • Up to 8.5 CEUs available for physicians, psychologists & social workers
  • A robust interactive event app – your one stop shop for content
  • Exciting keynotes & panel presentations from community leaders
  • Interactive sessions to expand our understanding of content
  • Networking & resilience building activities
  • On-demand case study presentations to share innovative partnerships
  • Opportunities to connect with thought leaders from around the country!
