Employers Assoc. of the NorthEast Announces Leadership Summit 2026

AGAWAM — The Employers Assoc. of the NorthEast (EANE) announced that its annual Leadership Summit supporting organizational learning in the New England region will take place on Thursday, April 9 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the MGM Conference Center in Springfield.

Today, being a people leader is harder than ever. The theme for this year’s Leadership Summit is “Elevate Your Impact,” and the team from Radical Candor will present the opening keynote session. Kim Scott’s book has been a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller for years, and her guiding principles around caring authentically and challenging directly is widely embraced by leaders around the world as an effective leadership strategy. Radical Candor coach Stephanie Sage will share these insights with the audience. The conference also features lunchtime keynote Arel Moodie and a day full of high-impact workshop sessions.

“At EANE, we are committed to providing opportunities for leaders at all levels to network with peers, learn from expert facilitators, and understand how to inspire their teams,” said Gary Dawson, director of Learning & Development at EANE. “Qualified Massachusetts employers can apply for reimbursement for conference fees using the Massachusetts Express Program.”
