2026 ACCT Leadership Congress
October 21st — 24th, 2026

The 2026 ACCT Leadership Congress will focus on how community college trustees, presidents, and senior leaders can lead meaningful change while centering care, responsibility, and long-term impact. As institutions navigate rapid technological advances, evolving workforce demands, enrollment shifts, and increasing mental and operational strain, effective leadership requires both bold vision and thoughtful stewardship.

This year’s Congress will explore strategies that balance innovation with institutional well-being, governance with empathy, and transformation with purpose—equipping leaders to make informed decisions that strengthen their colleges and the communities they serve.
