This year’s event:

Wednesday, May 21st, 2025 - Friday, May 23rd, 2025

Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria, MN

Key Aspects of MN Nonprofit Executive Leaders Summit:

We’re an informal group! Dress comfortably and casually and be ready for honest and authentic conversation about the experiences of leading organizations, managing Board members, embracing ongoing change, and navigating work/life alignment.

We aim to leverage the wisdom of each other and the group. Collectively, we have tremendous experience. Someone has always faced the same challenge(s) you’re currently facing. These are the folks you can talk those challenges through with, test and roleplay dialogue, and receive comfort from along the way.

The Summit is a balance of larger groups and smaller connections, more structured and more informal sessions and discussions, with ample time for rest and social interaction.

Cost (includes conference fee, lodging, and five meals): $600

In response to prior summit survey comments, this year the committee has reserved rooms in the lodge building only, if folks would like to book townhouses, please contact Arrowwood directly and then buy the "Meals Only" ticket when registering.

Rooms: Double Queen or King Lodge Room - These are typical hotel rooms attached to the main building. Your choice of this room is for you only - no roommates. Rooming here will require a .35 mile outside walk to the main summit event space.

If you have lodging or registration questions, please contact Lisa Meredith at lisa@mnccc.gov.

Please note - there is a waterpark at Arrowwood Resort. Summit registration DOES NOT include waterpark passes but these can be purchased at the hotel desk for an extra cost.
