The annual Young Audiences Leadership conference is especially designed for affiliate staff and board members as a means to build and grow the capacity of their organizations to do the very best work possible. The two-day meeting offers opportunities for affiliate leaders to meet in informal job like sessions, participate in interactive workshops, and share their YA knowledge. November is also a great time to visit New York and experience the energy and excitement of everything our city has to offer—world-class museums, Broadway shows, restaurants and stores.
