About the Call for Presentations
ACCT, the association that represents community college leaders, is accepting proposals for the 2026 ACCT Leadership Congress. We are seeking proposals that align with the six ACCT Congress tracks, as well as those that demonstrate how community colleges are working to innovate and develop skills that are needed in this changing world.
If your college has instituted new programs, practices and/or policies that expand the knowledge base, that will challenge and inspire, we encourage you to submit a proposal to present a session at this year's ACCT Leadership Congress.
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.
If you have any questions about submitting a proposal, or about the event, please contact [email protected].
PROPOSALS ARE DUE FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2026.
