The USEA Annual Meeting & Convention is just around the corner and this year, it’s all about access, transparency, and celebration. Nicole Brown is joined by CEO Rob Burk and outgoing President Lou Leslie for a full preview of what’s in store in New Orleans from December 11–14.

From the first-ever “open door” format that welcomes members into nearly every meeting, to keynote speaker Natalie Hummel’s work on mindset and performance, this year’s convention promises to be as forward-thinking as it is fun. Expect good company, big ideas, and plenty of inspiration as the USEA community comes together to reflect, connect, and look ahead.
