2023 CEO Summit
Nearly 150 CEOs and industry leaders came together for our “Celebrating Innovation” CEO Summit in Austin, TX from March 26-29, 2023. Conference sessions focused on strategic discussions on leadership, public policy, research & data, innovative practices, organizational culture, and networking opportunities. Our New CEO Bootcamp highlighted the history, key issues, and stakeholders in the field of blindness and low vision and was facilitated by Sylvia Stinson Perez and Lee Nasehi.
The CEO Summit was geared toward CEOs and Executive Directors, who were encouraged to bring leadership team members and board members. The Summit provided an invaluable networking opportunity and a forum to explore personal and collective leadership strategies.

Why attend a VisionServe Alliance conference?
Hear directly from our conference attendees.
“Each time I attend, I gain knowledge and insight from leaders in our field, which ultimately will allow Xavier Society to better serve our patrons. As important, this collective of organizations is working as one, to educate the many stakeholders in our field, and influence policy and legislation for the benefit of blind and visually impaired people in the U.S. and Canada. It is always an honor to represent Xavier Society and our patrons at this event, and to be a member of this organization.”
Malachy Fallon, Executive Director Xavier Society for the Blind
“I am a strong believer in the value of partnerships and collaborations. Attending the VSA conferences has been a great way to find partners and collaborators, learn new information to be a better administrator and steal good ideas from colleagues around the country. Bring along your executive team for even greater impact!”
Nancy D. Miller, Executive Director/CEO VISIONS/Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired
“I appreciated attending conference sessions on leadership development, including practical applications such as creating a culture that fosters innovation; a session on the importance of research to gather data on those we serve to help demonstrate where we can have impact; and tips for effective advocacy and influencing public policy. The networking opportunities helped me connect with CEOs new to the field and I brought ideas and resources back to my organization that will help propel us forward.”
George Abbott, President and CEO The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc.
