The Community Action Partnership and CAPLAW are pleased to announce the 2016 New Executive Director/CEO Boot Camp! The event will be held October 26-28, 2016 in Dallas, TX.  This new event is an opportunity for those who are new to the role of Executive Director or CEO; in this case we are defining new by having been an ED/CEO for less than four years. 

Please note that this event is a pilot and is our first time out of the box for a multi-day, New ED/CEO Boot Camp experience.  We are keeping the group small (50 attendees max) to allow for attendee interaction and participation.  It will provide a blend of training, group discussion, networking, and "office hours" with speakers so attendees can process individual situations as needed.  If this event goes well, we will look at replicating it in 2017.
