Change creates opportunities and across the social services sector, leaders are rising to meet the moment with innovation, courage and purpose. CSSEA's 2026 conference, Leading for Change, celebrates the leaders who are navigating complexity while keeping people and their communities at the centre of their work. As organizations respond to evolving workforce challenges, shifting expectations and emerging opportunities, effective leadership has never been more important. This year's conference will bring together sector leaders from across British Columbia to share insights, strengthen connections and explore practical strategies for leading with confidence and compassion.
Join us in Vancouver as we learn from one another, embrace new possibilities and continue leading the way through change.
