2016 BGCA National Conference

Join Us in New Orleans!

We hope you're making plans to join your colleagues for Boys & Girls Clubs of America's 110th Annual National Conference in beautiful New Orleans, May 11-13.

While the conference proper starts on May 11, Tuesday, May 10 will be a Day of Service on which Club professionals and volunteers will have the opportunity to show appreciation for, and give back to, our host city and its wonderful residents. Let's have a strong turnout, so we can build momentum and set a positive tone for this year's conference.

The theme this year is “Imagine the Possibilities: You. Your Club. Your Community.” It is all about giving you the skills and knowledge you need to strengthen your Club, which will, in turn, strengthen your community. As 2016 is also the Year of the Teen, there will be much focus on being intentional in our efforts to recruit and retain Club members ages 13-18.

This annual convening will provide ample opportunities to celebrate, network and learn about issues crucial to the Movement, such as building robust resources, engaging boards, and maximizing impact by creating an Optimal Club Experience for every member who comes through one of our blue doors.

Please make plans now to be part of this year's conference.
