"The Circles USA leadership conference brings together chapters, partners, and innovators to share best practices, inspiration, and new learning every other year. We strengthen our relationships, uplevel our local practices, offer each other potent resources, and build momentum in the anti-poverty arena. Our conference is open to chapter staff, Circle Leaders, Allies, other volunteers, community champions, funders, partners, and friends of Circles. We even offer a one-day inquiry track for folks looking at partnering with Circles in the future. Conference programming is aimed at multiple roles and levels of experience, supporting all who attend to connect, learn, and return home inspired for next steps in their community. Join us in October in Ogden for a powerful week of Moving Beyond...together. "
