Impact into Action.This isn't another leadership conference. It's an implementation-focused leadership experience.The From Poverty to Prosperity™ Leadership Summit brings together policymakers, executive leaders, business professionals, educators, workforce leaders, nonprofit organizations, public safety leaders, higher education institutions, philanthropists, and community changemakers to do more than exchange ideas.Together, we'll build strategic partnerships, develop implementation strategies, and make measurable commitments that strengthen economic mobility and community prosperity.Designed around cross-sector collaboration, the summit challenges leaders to move beyond discussion and into action by connecting organizations that are ready to work together to address today's most pressing challenges—including workforce development, education, entrepreneurship, housing, disability inclusion, public safety, and economic mobility.Rather than ending with recommendations, participants will engage in Impact into Action Labs where collaborative solutions are developed and implementation begins.The summit will also launch the Prosperity Action Partners™ Network, bringing organizations together to establish partnerships that continue well beyond October 3.The day concludes with Prosperity Commitments™, where participating organizations publicly announce collaborative initiatives they will pursue to create measurable community impact.What You'll Experience✔ Executive Leadership Sessions✔ Leadership Luncheon & Fireside Chat✔ Impact into Action Labs✔ Cross-Sector Partnership Building✔ Launch of the Prosperity Action Partners™ Network✔ Prosperity Commitments™ focused on implementation✔ High-value networking with leaders from government, business, education, workforce development, higher education, nonprofit organizations, philanthropy, and community leadershipProfessional Development OpportunityPresented by DTD Enterprises, LLC, participants may earn up to five (5) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits through DTD Enterprises, LLC's Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE)-approved professional learning program.Organizations interested in employer-sponsored registration or participants interested in earning CPD credits are encouraged to contact .Who Should AttendGovernment & Public Sector LeadersBusiness & Corporate ExecutivesWorkforce Development ProfessionalsHigher Education LeadersPK–12 Education LeadersNonprofit ExecutivesPublic Safety ProfessionalsHealthcare & Human Services LeadersCommunity LeadersGraduate Students & Emerging LeadersAttendance is intentionally limited to 120 participants to foster meaningful collaboration, strategic networking, and measurable implementation.If you're ready to move beyond conversation and help build partnerships that strengthen communities, this summit is for you.Register today and become part of the movement turning vision into impact—and impact into action.Learn more: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/6ed37a40-a871-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w493-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/6f2a4cd0-a871-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w493-h740-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 08:00 AM - 05:00 PMFROM POVERTY TO PROSPERITY LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 2026Info: FROM POVERTY TO PROSPERITY LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 2026 Turning Vision into Impact.
