EVENTS

The CESA Collective 2025-2026

The CESA Collective is back and has been reworked to foster even stronger connections and resource sharing among our leaders. Designed with more frequent and informal connection points, each Collective Roundtable (former affinity groups) provides a space for shared learning, encouragement, and collaboration around common roles and responsibilities. These gatherings offer practical support and meaningful conversation, ensuring that every member can contribute their wisdom and benefit from the experiences of others. The CESA Collective is where the CESA community deepens, ideas are exchanged, and leaders find strength for the work ahead. Be sure to mark your calendars to join your Collective Roundtables!
