RECAP OF PREVIOUS EVENT
Our 2025 Annual Conference, “Bridge the Gap Between What You Know and Who You Want to Be,” in San Francisco, had attendees from over 34 states, and 40 exhibitors. Amanda Gore reminded us that mindset shapes our leadership, and joy isn’t a luxury—it’s a strategy. Lorie Clements gave us tools to align our vision and actually gain traction. And Merikay Hunt closed the conference with a powerful reminder that growth begins with self-awareness and care, providing tools to take lessons learned in California back to the office. Together, these speakers and all the rest helped attendees move from insight to action—bridging gaps in communication, systems, and ourselves.
DON’T MISS OUT ON THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
BE A PART OF IT AND JOIN SOMSA TODAY!
THIS CONFERENCE CHANGED MY LIFE, SERIOUSLY! Not only did it help me with my current role at my office, but it reassured me that I will be ok outside of work as well. I was really struggling with it all, and at this conference, I got the chance to connect with "first timers" that were feeling the same way I was.
Since then, I have made changes at work and in my life that have improved everything around me. So again, thank you SOMSA for giving me my light back!
