Please join us in Winter Park, Florida for VisionServe Alliance’s Fall 2014 Conference.

Hotel deadline is October 5, 2014.

Winter Park may not have Mickey Mouse, but it does have several museums – including the largest collection of Tiffany glass in the world, phenomenal shopping, beautiful architecture, and amazing restaurants.  We will experience all of it while also participating in high level learning and extensive networking opportunities.  The conference is hosted by Lee Nasehi of Lighthouse Central Florida, and she and her committee have planned a relaxed conference experience to support their theme of Pause – Play – Forward.  They want you to pause for some learning and play with some relaxing activities so that you return to your organization better prepared to move forward! 

Presentations and activities will include sessions for CEOs/EDs on listening and speaking, metrics based fundraising, and an entire morning vetting mergers, partnerships, acquisitions, and hybrid models.  As a special treat, Lesley-Anne Alexander, CEO of the Royal National Institute of Blind People will be with us to share some of the leadership challenges she deals with in Great Britain. 

We are excited to once again welcome high level program leaders at this meeting.  For the first time our policy allows them to attend even if their CEO/ED does not.  Program Leaders will sit in on some sessions, attend their own learning sessions, and have an opportunity to network with peers from around the country. 

Wear casual resort wear, comfortable sandals, and sunscreen as we will spend time outdoors, and on Friday night we will boogey the night away with local rockers who also happen to be physicians – or is it physicians who happen to be rockers and play in the band Running with Scissors?   

Please visit the following links to gain access to the agenda, learn more about registering for the hotel and local transportation, and about Winter Park before your visit.

This conference is proving to be a roaring success!  So much so, that The Alfond Inn and all area hotels are sold out.  We have secured a block of rooms at the DoubleTree in downtown Orlando. We snagged their last 20 rooms. Transportation will be provided for those staying at the Double Tree to/from The Alfond Inn during the conference.  The Hotel and Transportation link has been updated with registration details.
