Leading What's Next

At the 2026 Women’s Executive Forum, we’re redefining leadership as a living legacy—one shaped by intentional impact, courageous action, and collective momentum. Every decision we make and every step we take propels us forward, creating a more inclusive, equitable future for all.

As Association Forum celebrates 110 years of empowering association professionals, this year’s theme, Legacy In Motion, honors the women who paved the way, celebrates those leading today, and uplifts the next generation of change makers. Together, we rise—lifting each other up, forging new paths, and shaping what’s next.

Join the movement.
