National Conferences

Since 2005, Stewards of Change has been proud to offer an annual invitation-only conference for health and human service professionals. These conferences bring together a diverse group of talented leaders from the business, national, state and local governments, not-for-profit organizations, foundation, national associations, philanthropy, and academic fields to share ideas, challenges and cutting edge solutions to the most challenging social problems.
 
Real system change only happens when creative leaders are able to look outside themselves and their fields in an ongoing quest for promising solutions. The SOC conference allows its industry leaders to participate in strategic teaching and learning with an elite class of talented colleagues – all with different backgrounds and perspectives. Together with expert speakers the conference gives participants a unique opportunity to foster stewardship and learning to improve the lives and futures of children, families and communities.

Conference Attendee Testimonials

Joseph Roynan, Director Department of Human Services, County of Montgomery, PA

“I had to comment that the information exchange the Stewards of Change presented was the best I have ever participated in. The quality of the information, the presenters, the participants, the process and the environment were outstanding! Congratulations on a tremendous success and Thank you!”

Alan Day, Vice President, NWN Corporation

“Thanks again, for organizing the best conference I attend every year. Nowhere else can dedicated people truly dig deep enough into our common concerns to make progress on our thinking so well or so quickly. The openness and power of the attendees is remarkable, and the dedication to the children and clients we all serve is palpable among the group and in the sessions. This was the best one yet. I'm looking forward to #5 and #15 as well.”

Miriam Aroni Krinsky, Lecturer, UCLA School of Public Affairs

“In times where despair and fiscal ‘just say no’ attitudes are too often the watchword of the day, it is that much more critical to come together both to learn about and to celebrate the inspired work going on in this profession. Too many struggling children and families suffer when our disconnected systems fail collectively to bring the best thinking forward. Thanks to the great team Stewards assembled, these past few days enhanced the ability of all of us to do more for the most vulnerable members of our community. It was a real privilege to meet all of you and to spend a few days living out the ‘yes we can’mantra.”
