      <title>Spring 2026 WI-ACE Conference (April 30, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;h2 class="contStyleHeaderSubtitle" align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.wiace.org/resources/Pictures/Spring%202026%20Conference-2.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 class="contStyleHeaderSubtitle" align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h4 align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Celebrating the Impact of Individual Contributors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This conference aims to recognize and empower individual contributors—those everyday leaders who influence and drive&amp;nbsp;positive change regardless of formal titles.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Our agenda is designed to spotlight the critical role employers and higher education professionals play in guiding students and graduates on their career journeys, as well as how their involvement shapes organizational culture, motivates teams, and achieves results through initiative, collaboration, and influence.&lt;/p&gt;
