Connecting Leaders Across California — 2026-2027

Join us for a series of regional Town Halls bringing together CEOs and Executive Leadership Teams from child- and family-serving organizations across California. Across each region, these gatherings create space to connect, share openly, and learn from others who understand the work we lead every day.

About the Tour

Connecting with the People & Programs Making a Difference

The Listening & Learning Tour is a series of regional gatherings for CEOs and Executive Leadership Teams from child- and family-serving organizations across California—an opportunity to come together, connect, and learn from one another.

From July 2026 through May 2027, the CA Alliance leadership team will travel across nine California regions, partnering with regional leads to host Town Halls that create space for honest conversation about what's working, what's challenging, and what's needed most.

This is a space shaped by your voice, grounded in your perspective, and guided by your leadership—and we can't wait to be in community with you.

"The goal is simple: strengthen relationships across the Alliance network, deepen understanding of the realities members face, and gather insights that can help shape our advocacy, support, and collective work moving forward."

Pete Weldy

CEO, CA Alliance
