Join our network of state affiliate leaders.

Twice each year, NAEA hosts an exclusive meeting to bring together state affiliate leaders from across the country. The meeting provides a forum to exchange ideas and connect with other EA leaders who share similar challenges. It also gives NAEA an opportunity to set strategic priorities that have an impact across all states.

This year, the Affiliate Presidents Exchange (APEX) meeting will be held on May 13-14, 2020 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan National Airport during Leadership Summit. Space is limited for this opportunity, so please register to participate by Friday, March 27, 2020 for consideration and await registration confirmation before making travel arrangements.
