Exclusive to members, the DSAIA Annual Leadership conference brings together key leaders from local, state, regional, and national Down syndrome organizations, including executive directors, board members, program staff, outreach coordinators, advocates, and volunteers. These dedicated professionals are not only seeking tools to strengthen their organizations but also resources to directly support the families they serve. As the only organization dedicated solely to advancing the capacity of Down syndrome associations nationwide, DSAIA provides an unparalleled focus on professional development, mentorship, networking, and operational support.

This conference is a unique opportunity to connect with decision-makers who shape the future of Down syndrome advocacy and services, reaching thousands of families across North America. We invite you to join us in empowering these leaders and making this year’s conference our most impactful yet.
