Summit Program

The word “summit” has two distinct meanings: one being a meeting or conference, the other being the highest peak of a hill or mountain. We like to think of a Leadership Summit as both: it is a meeting of current and aspiring American Inns of Court leaders that will equip you with the tools and insights you need to ascend to excellence.

By attending a Leadership Summit, you will enter a collaborative environment and learn about the latest resources and best practices in Inn management to ensure that you’re offering the highest quality experience to your members. You will have the opportunity to:

• Network with other Inn leaders, sharing successes, challenges, and ideas
• Generate new ideas to rejuvenate your Inn’s education and mentoring programs
• Connect to the national American Inns of Court’s tools and member benefits
