Complimentary ELEVATE Conference Registration

SAVMA Leaders announce a limited professional development opportunity for members. Thanks to the generosity of Tucson Foundations, SAVMA received five complimentary registrations for the ELEVATE 2026 Conference to benefit our members.

Each registration has a fair market value of $125 and is fully underwritten to support learning, connection, and growth for volunteer engagement professionals in Southern Arizona.

What Is ELEVATE 2026?

ELEVATE is a national professional learning conference designed for nonprofit and association professionals. The conference focuses on practical tools, leadership development, and real-world strategies. Sessions are approachable, relevant, and designed to be used right away.

For SAVMA members, ELEVATE aligns closely with our commitment to connect, align, and empower volunteer engagement professionals through meaningful learning experiences.

Basic conference information, including format and schedule, is available through the official registration platform hosted by the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance, a SAVMA ecosystem partner.

Why This Opportunity Matters

Professional development is essential for strong volunteer engagement programs. However, cost is often a barrier. This underwriting removes that barrier and helps ensure local professionals can access national-level learning.

By investing in SAVMA members, Tucson Foundations is strengthening the nonprofit and volunteer engagement ecosystem across Southern Arizona.

If you are ready to grow your skills, expand your network, and bring new ideas back to your organization, we encourage you to apply early.
