Mesa County Annual Community Summit
Join us for our 2026 Community Summit
The Mesa County Community Summit is an annual event designed to unite and uplift those serving children and families by providing a space for learning, connection, and renewal — because together, we create what none of us can create alone.
We are excited to invite passionate leaders, practitioners, educators, advocates, and community partners to submit a proposal to speak at the upcoming Mesa County Community Summit, centered on the powerful theme of Hope. This year’s theme calls us to reflect on what sustains our work, reconnect with our shared mission, and renew our commitment to the children and families we serve.
Presentation topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Reignite hope in challenging environments
- Help professionals reconnect to their “why”
- Build resilience and prevent burnout
- Share bold, innovative solutions
- Lead from where you are with strength, resilience, and purpose
Submit your speaker proposal through our registration form!
The deadline for submitting a session proposal is May 1, 2026.
You will be contacted via email by June 15, 2026 if your proposal was accepted. Additional information and specific details about your scheduled presentation date and time will follow.
