A Pacesetter Membership is a select membership level specially designed for ALP members who are the most progressive...those who serve as the models and exemplars of the industry. A Pacesetter is someone who thinks two steps ahead, not where we are today but where we should be in the future.

• Developing volunteer leadership.
• Implementing successful strategies to recruit organizational leadership.
• Learning board best practices.
• Building a volunteer structure for future leaders to emerge and creating succession plans for key roles.

Step Up is a virtual conference designed for participants to gain a deeper understanding and new perspectives about racial equity and social justice in society and their workplace. Participants will leave with innovative and USEFUL tools on how to address systemic racism in their respective organizations and institutions that will be applicable across business, government, and non-profit sectors. Adults and youth from all backgrounds and experiences are welcomed and encouraged to attend. All participants will have access to recorded workshop sessions for 30 days after the event.

The conference is intended to offer a variety of workshops for people with diverse interests and different levels of knowledge and experiences. A variety of solution-based workshops cover a variety of topics, including how to address institutional racism, implicit bias, and micro aggressions. Attendees will also explore the decolonization of education, the intersection of race and LGBTQIA people, systems change, and more.
