Welcome to the 2022 National Leadership Conference!
Point Foundation is excited to come together again for this exclusive conference that connects Point’s community members and provides participants with new skills and resources. Now more than ever, we appreciate the power of coming together as a community.
This year, Point celebrates 20 years of expanding our community and services. We will always work to make sure that there is a place for LGBTQ students exactly as they are. Our students go on to foster more equitable communities in every industry across the United States, through activism or simply by being present. At the National Leadership Conference, we celebrate the accomplishments of our scholars and prepare for the years to come.
