PUTTING VISION INTO ACTION

For 37 years, CADCA's National Leadership Forum has been the prevention field's largest training event; it is a place to learn, connect, and move communities forward together.

Progress begins with a vision and succeeds through action. This year's theme, Vision in Action, is about turning bold ideas into meaningful outcomes through leadership, partnership, and evidence-informed strategies. Join thousands of coalition leaders, youth advocates, researchers, and federal partners at Gaylord National for four days of hands-on training, policy briefings, and Capitol Hill Day. Discover collaborative approaches, effective policies, and practical strategies you can use to strengthen your community.

Bring your vision. Leave ready to put it into action.

What Attendees Say

“
First time attending. I was blown away by the vast information made available to a layman. Very informative, highlighting key points to help resolve our substance abuse crisis.

“
I personally had several moments of discovery about how to deliver our services, as well as learning how to make our coalitions more productive and not just a box checked for grant purposes.

- 2026 Attendee

“
I appreciated the opportunities provided, not only the opportunities to learn information at training sessions but also the ability to meet with both adult and youth ambassadors from around the country.
