Executive Summit & Annual Business Meeting for Society CEOs, Top Executives & Board Members

The Executive Summit and Annual Business Meeting is the Alliance’s premier gathering for fraternal CEOs and senior executives, bringing leaders together for peer-to-peer education, strategic dialogue, and collective action.

A cornerstone of the 2026 experience will be coordinated congressional visits, where attendees will meet with lawmakers to share the fraternal story, highlighting the impact, reach, and social good delivered by our societies across the country.

As part of the Alliance’s 140th anniversary, the Executive Summit will also feature special moments of celebration that honor the legacy, values, and distinctiveness of the fraternal sector. Together, we will reflect on our history, elevate our voice, and reinforce the shared mission that continues to unite and strengthen our community.

Attendance is invitation-only. All fraternal society CEOs are invited and encouraged to bring their select senior staff and board members to fully participate in the education, advocacy efforts, and anniversary celebrations.
